South Padre Island Strip Club Analysis

Strip Club Nation

There is talk of an attorney wanting to build a new strip club on South Padre Island north of Beach Access 6, about six miles outside of town in an undeveloped part of the island.

Here are reasons why I think this would be a colossal failure:
1)Most people do not ever drive north of the SPI convention center because there is nothing but sand dunes. Many people would not know this club even exists.
2)The sand dunes blow over the road, making the club’s location semi-inaccessable. The club would also have to worry about sand getting everywhere inside the club and covering the parking lot.
3)Decent looking dancers would have to be bused in from elsewhere. The Mexican women in “the Valley” are some of the ugliest Mexican women I have encountered throughout Mexico and the Mexican diaspora. They are also very sexually conservative.
4)Outside of spring break, SPI is very family-friendly, unlike Miami Beach, Daytona Beach, etc.
5)The local Hispanic population that work the service jobs are poor. The winter Texans have money, but they typically only spend five or six months at the most on the island, so business would be seasonal at best.
6)Depending on the local regulations, which are likely to be very strict, you might be able to see and touch more skin on the beaches and in the pools than at the strip club.
7)SPI used to have a strip club called Babes. It closed down well over a decade ago.
