STAFF at a Gourock garden centre were perplexed to find customers ‘glued to their phones’ – only to discover that they were playing the reality game that is sweeping the globe.
Bosses at Cardwell Garden Centre noticed visitors wandering around the horticultural and gardening displays with their eyes glued to their phones.
They soon discovered they were playing Pokémon GO - an augmented reality game where players used their smartphones to collect cartoon critters.
Paul Carmichael, pictured, who is the retail manager at Cardwell, says he is a big fan of the game.
He said: “I’ve been caught by the bug and I play the game so much that staff here are now calling me Pokemon Paul!”
Anyone who posts their photo of a captured Pokemon on the Cardwell Facebook Page will be entered into a prize draw to win one of several £5 voucher prizes for the centre’s Patio Restaurant.
