Google rolling out new white local panel in search results

Google is now rolling out a new look for the local panel in the mobile search results. The new look goes from the blue interface with text buttons to a white interface with rounded buttons. Here is the new look you might be able to see now when you search for a local business on your smart phone:

We have emailed Google for a comment and will update this story when we receive one.
