Strip Club Consolidation
Muddy
USA
There was an argument in another thread, about rooting for clubs to close. The clubs I've noticed close around me, are some really shitty clubs (more like dive bars with strippers to be honest) that I got to be honest I'm not sad to see go. I think there's a lot more options out there for girls to sell their sex appeal, be it onlyfans, instagram, sugar dating, whatever, that I think we're going to start seeing some consolidation of the whole industry to keep up the quality. I know some of you guys miss some of these high mileage dives stocked with women who quite frankly have no business dancing but I just don't. I think you'll see the bottom 20% of clubs here really struggle to survive this squeeze that America and strip clubs are going through that's just my prediction. Those customer refugees and their money, hopefully give the better clubs more life and hotter girls more reason to work there. Or maybe with absence of shitty clubs, there becomes a demand for a new nice club start up. The other side being once these strip clubs go, they are not coming back.
There's just this desire from me to shake things up, some how, some way. And I think a certain level of hot girl is not going to work in these ghetto ass dives, so just get rid of it, and lets get a real club, that would attract hotter girls. That's my only hope to helping the quality at some of these spots. Otherwise this decade is gonna be a nose dive. And for me I'm not in a city with one or two strip clubs, there's a fuck ton and I'd prefer some better options to more in all honesty. I could think off the top of my head about 10 clubs go down around none which I miss. I look at some other areas like Atlanta, never been to Follies or now they are trying to shut down Oasis it looks like. Those are legit strip clubs, that's not really what I'm talking about. Where do you fall in this argument?

All I have to do is simply not go to those clubs. Problem solved.
The only exception I'll make is the bad club that repeatedly finds itself in the news and drawing heat down on the entire local market. There was a club in Providence called Cheaters that was like that, and both the local customers and other club owners breathed a sigh of relief when they finally shut down (over a legit human trafficking incident, which surprised no one at all).
And also, Juice is now buying up lots of rural dive club.

Also Portland has waaaay too many clubs it is just stupid. I also think a lot of Florida places have too many clubs for a limited population. They are also ran the worst ways but that is whole other topic.
Maybe one could still get away with opening a topless sports bar or Hooters, but there’s too much cost & too little return to trying to open a new “quality” nude juice bar jack shack. In SoCal, even the mighty Spearmint Rhino failed to get it done (Monarchs in COI, LaPerla in the Valley). For example, for new construction this f’n nanny state has demanded a wheelchair lift up to the stripper stage for ADA compliance!! Who’s going to open a new nude club (no booze here) facing that sort of BS? The value of keeping your liquor license keeps the topless clubs “clean,” so they squeak by. Like with a restaurant during COVID, “take-out” is the future now. Our days of ITC delights may be just pleasant memories.
Angelwitch in Lubbock TX in 2020 was a wholly new operation. I remember talking with somebody and being shocked that of all the places to tolerate a new club that would be it. But it was pointed out that general area where the club is located was where all the bars and liquor was being sold before Lubbock county finally started allowed alcohol sales in 2009–and even though most of the bars and liquor stores are gone now in that area and is instead closer in town, the association that area has makes it more “okay” for a titty bar to exist.
That club has had challenges of Texas legislation requiring dancers to be 21+ (The time I worked at that club was before that happened and lots of dancers were young—that had to have been a blow there) That and a recent parking lot violent incident in a smaller area where people are more likely to remember that type of thing. AND I didn’t realize it when I first read about it, but I figured out I met the person before who had died. :/ It’s sad stuff.
The cons of just having a couple of clubs is that there’s less competition and thus easier for the clubs to start gouging custies and dancers and perhaps not keeping up the club’s facilities; etc.
If I had to choose one or the other, I’d prefer for there to be more vs less clubs in an area – in part b/c different custies (and dancers also) have different tastes w.r.t. clubs – speaking for myself I’m usually not into the big more-popular clubs and usually prefer smaller dive type places vs the big corporate-feeling clubs that often feel a bit too-pretentious for my PL-tastes.
There are always more young hotties available if the money is there and if LE is not making too much trouble.
And the higher the number of clubs the harder it is politically for LE to do anything about.
And it is because of this principle that San Francisco has the best AMPs, sluttier in front room dress and demeanor, and that sets them up for the best back room action.
The highest number of strip clubs per capita in in Portland, and I think the metro is made far better because of that.
