Anyone who hightails it to the mall or Costco is going to be fodder for the countless other panicking people with the same idea. Nope.

My guess is that their business plan involves offering businesses a way to buy into being an in-game location to drive traffic to their establishment.

For instance, the gold-buying shop they have marked as a pawn store isn't going to do you much good, but the enormous Costco that ISN'T on the map would be hella helpful. I'm also surprised (being in Houston, Texas and all) that there aren't more gun shops shown around my location... Yeah, I wish it was more like a Wiki where you could add locations.
