Downtown business owner capitalizes on Pokemon craze

CRESTVIEW — With Main Street a PokeStop, downtown businesses have capitalized on the Pokemon craze.

Crestview Pokémon Center set up an area for players of the interactive video game who thronged downtown after it became a gathering place for the elusive animated creatures.

Players can take a break, recharge their smartphones — the game consumes lots of battery power — use the bathroom and have snacks and drinks at the outdoor food court south of Desi’s.

And besides, who knows how many Pokemon are lurking there?
