Pokémon Go is the game that keeps on giving, whether it's helping users with depression and stress or promoting physical activity. Now, it's also helping small businesses, like an ice cream shop called Mad Hatter's Ice Cream in Anacortes, WA, that has a second life now thanks to the game.

According to King 5, shop owner Gary Dear had to shut his business down in June due to a neurological disorder. He reopened it shortly after when Pokémon Go first released, and business has never been better. Users have been stopping by for ice cream while visiting the multiple Pokéstops around Gary's shop and dropping Lures to bring in more Pokémon.

"Never in my wildest dreams did I ever expected it to end up like this," Gary said to King 5.
