How to make Pokestops in Pokemon Go

How to get a Pokestop for normal people
Here’s how all of this works. There is a submission form that you may fill out to request a new Pokestop. You canfind that submission form by clicking here. Unfortunately, Niantic isn’t accepting submissions for new Pokestops at this time. To date, they have only opened up this submission forma handful of timesand it usually closes quickly.
This is an unfortunate situation for those who live out in the middle of nowhere and have no Pokestops close by. Pokestops are generally places that are open to the public or are places of note. That means you’ll probably never have a Pokestop at your house even when the submissions open once again.
How to get a Pokestop if you’re a business
Businesses have at least one additional option that normal people don’t have. At the bottom of the submission form (linked above) you’ll find an email address. This is for businesses that want to partner with Niantic. With a partnership in place, a business can easily become a Pokestop or a Gym.Just ask McDonald’s, which has a Pokestop or Gym at virtually every location in Japan.
We’re not familiar with the process once you reach out to Niantic. However, we’re sure that you’ll get a response from a rep if you send in an email to inquire about it.
Other ways to manipulate Pokestops
Of course, there are other ways that you can change locations of Pokestops. Here is a short list of other things that you can do with Pokestops. Do beware that these changes that likely permanent.
