in Nomination Improvement

I nominated a local Starbucks, and it was rejected as "location inappropriate" (?) It is clearly safely accessible by pedestrians and there are many Starbucks with stops. Trying to figure out what I did wrong.

    @CaballoDeFuego1-PGO Seeing this makes me wish Niantic would focus on sponsors more. They need to realize that if they’re making even a little bit of money on sponsored POI, that’s better than nothing. But I agree with @Melurra-PGO. To be honest there’s a better chance of contacting Starbucks about them contacting Niantic to add a location as a POI than there is to submit them. The last time I contacted Starbucks about this they acted like they didn’t have sponsored POI through Niantic at all though. I talked with them extensively because there are a lot of locations in the US alone that aren’t POI. This was the last reply they sent me.
