Traditionally reserved for senior proms and weddings, one Ormond Beach resident is catering to a very specific crowd who are much less likely to be wearing tuxedos: Pokémon Go players.
Just over a week ago, Justin Rovins started Beachside Executive Limo and began providing three-hour tours for Pokémon Go players for $35 per person. The limo comes stocked with soft drinks and constant Pokémon movies playing on the TV. It can seat around nine to 10 people, and a private package is also available for $300 for those who do not want to share with strangers.
"It's like a Pokémon party," he said. "My day job is regional sales for Verison Wireless, so we hear lots of chatter about Pokémon Go. It's popular with everyone from senior citizens to kids."
Rovins said the idea was not only a good way to jumpstart his business, but also to keep kids who are playing the game safe.
"We're giving them more of a safe place to play," he said. "We only go to public stops, not ones that are in someone's back yard."
Anyone interested in signing up for a Pokémon Go can call 299-2991.
