Online Store in China (Yihaodian) opened a thousand stores over night. Using Augmented Reality.
Even though this concept is older than Pokemon Go, I can't help but think that this is way more relevant now, than it was before Pokemon Go.
I love how they increased revenue to their online market by 13% by giving their shoppers the nostalgic feeling of walking around a physical store. And they weren't limited to renting buildings, they could place them anywhere. Even right next to their competitors.
