With Apple's announcement that its NFC-based Apple Pay service will launch in the U.S. on Monday, Oct. 20, AppleInsider has rounded up a list of establishments at which consumers will be able to test out the new mobile payment platform.
Apple says that more than 220,000 locations around the country will accept Apple Pay, though it remains unclear how many of those will be configured for the service on Monday. The company's partners run the gamut of national retailers, from fast food chains to office supply stores and pet shops
