Way too much liability.
Dude think of all the boobs you would see
What city
Good for laundering money according to Ozark
I feel like this would be a business where you’d have to have expertise in the aspects of it that are not documented or included in the financials. Knowing who to pay off and how much, and who not to for starters.
It’s going to put you in the orbit of a lot of people you would think twice about being associated with otherwise. It will also likely put you on the radar of the local PD. There is a lot of drama with the employees. Everything from interpersonal drama, to chemically induced conflict, depending on whether or not you serve booze, alcohol induced conflict; the customers can also be a troublesome.
Now that doesn’t mean it isn’t for you. Plenty of people are comfortable with all that. But if it’s not a world you’re familiar with and comfortable in, I’d probably not do it.
I’d be curious to see financials. I wonder how much business is running cash potentially off the books.
Go to twitter and read the post today about the investor who now can’t get life insurance- do that before you buy it.
What’s the name of it
I would rather do a funeral home
One of the few business models that charges both customers and employees to use their facility.
How much are they asking for it?
My bosses own a strip club, they are millionaires. I don’t work at the strip club I work at the other company they own, which is kind of a dirty industry as well but I think for the most part they’re straight people.
I think it’s usually a shady business to be in though, you should probably be used to being around that stuff. I’ve never been to one where the woman are prostituting on the side and using drugs.
Years ago our local owner was being followed home by bikers. They were intimidating him to sell to them or for protection.
They went out of business.
It’s 2024, better to do something digital. Think Only Fans with a twist.
Jerk off before you decide
I danced at afterhours clubs off and on for years. I just want to echo the liability, violence, unsustainabilty, the potential for crime .
If you’re looking for excitement just watch P-Valley on Starz. Or sit in a strip club in Vegas. The adult industry maybe a cash cow but its also one that comes with dangers.
Dancers are unreliable, need baby sitters, don’t have working cars, will never show up on time, have shitty attitude and the emotional intelligence of a cinder block.
Invest your money elsewhere and harbor whatever peace you have left. Because you’ll spend your entire experience looking over your shoulder between horny stupid men and irresponsible dancers .
OP I’m under the impressions it’s a solid business with decent cash flow. If you can make the spot clean, get a liquor license (expect much higher insurance rates), I think you’d do fine. The biggest issue though is the internet… guys would rather PayPal a girl $500 from the safety of their home to jerk off, rather than drive to a strip club, risk a DUI, and come home with blue balls. I don’t think strip clubs are viable anymore (outside of Vegas and Miami). I like going to clubs, but all of the Hollywood clubs are empty now, only popular one I’ve seen lately is far from the city and caters to blue collar workers and fake gang-bangers.
Let’s partner up. I’ve read nothing in the replies that I consider non-starters. I’d love to have a piece of a club.
Do it. Hire a media manager to film content and market. Make it a reality show, portal between boomers and zoomers. Invest in security and management. Delegate the dirty work to your muscle and management. Make it good environment for your girls and customers. Keep it above board. No drugs, etc. Try to keep it clean. Play parent. Don’t sleep with the girls. Of course there will always be bullshit and drugs but you have to be the pillar of stability and play the part. Dump the problematic employees fast. Sounds like a blast tbh. Make it profitable and flip it in a 2-3 years.
Lookup stock symbol RICK. They’re publicly traded and own/operate ~60 strip clubs across the country. They buy existing strip clubs from people retiring and operate them under their umbrella. Reading through their 10ks would more than likely give you greater insight into the business and industry than anyone in this thread.
One thing I do know is that strip clubs will typically sell for very low multiples of net profit. Partly because it’s likely going to be impossible to finance them traditionally, and part because of the sin nature of the business.
Definitely NOT always in demand. Competition from OF and Chat sites has greatly reduced strip club attendance. The good times are over in a lot of locations, industry is in general decline. Lots of employee/contractor drama issues, lots of issues with police, possible issues with organized crime, etc.
Most people are better off buying a regular bar and having karaoke on Friday nights.
Recommend you work in a club before you think about buying one. You can’t really appreciate the issues from a customer’s perspective.
I’m saving this to stay abreast of the situation.
My dad owned one and managed several. It’s a shady business full of drama and unsavory people. Depending on where you are in the US, shake downs and ‘protection’ from mobsters is a very real thing.
But it was pretty awesome growing up as a teen and 20 something and being around this stuff. Just wouldn’t want to be on the business side.
Strip clubs are in decline. Younger men don’t go there anymore due to lack of comfort with irl sex work as opposed to porn. And yesterday’s stripper is today’s OF girl or IG model getting flown places. So the remaining strippers are frankly pretty unappealing. Tatted up, butch hair, unhealthy looking, etc— the illusion of their being mostly normal women no longer exists.
Don’t buy a strip club; the industry has problems.
Too much liability. I’ve also had this idea. Problem is the two people I have casually known in my life that have done this both are in prison. It’s ridiculously easy to break American sex crimes laws and many of them are very vague so if you get on the wrong side of someone especially in a conservative area, they’ll find a way to get you
