IF you were to open strip club, where would you set up shop?
Muddy
USA
Or at least where you NOT. What state? City? General area? Say you don't even have to live near it so it takes that part out of the equation.
State wise...
Some things I notice, when I'm in Pennsylvania, I don't think it's the whole state but some spots in PA your able to go Full nude, smoking indoors, full contact and alcohol is served. It's kind of rare thing to have all that now that I think about it. These aren't things I particularly remember about clubs in hindsight but I can't think of too many other places where all that was a thing.
When you look at West Virginia, a state with not even 2 million people. But for it's population it's got a ton of SC's. If you look they sort of hug the borders which makes me think maybe it makes sense to be West Virginia (certainly in the case of the Virginia border) then the alternative. I'm not privy to each local jurisdiction's regulatory situation but it's the little stuff like that that's says a lot.
I would probably be not be in California, which I like customer though but I mean how many crazy ass anti business stories are we going to read about California strip clubs and just even business overall out there.
Texas and Louisiana from what I understand is 21 and up. How can I get dancers if the age group that wants to work most can't even work?
I'd probably try to avoid the bible belt entirely. Mountain west, it's Mormon territory, would also completely avoid the entire region.
Not doing the hood. Been to enough of those. No North philly, No Baltimore, no east st. louis, San Francisco, DTLA, fuck all that shit. No far left areas either where defending yourself from some piece of shit actually lands YOU (lol) in jail.
Probably be in the suburbs if I could make it work. The more I go on, the more I like those types of clubs. There's parking. Leave the craziness to the downtown spots. I also wouldn't want to be out in the boonies though. I FUCKING HATE driving in these wooded areas where little Bambi's are just waiting jump out and fuck your car up. HATE IT. I don't know how people live in these areas if they don't have big ass truck and deal with that bullshit. At least in the desert/great plains, you could see what's out there before it jumps in the road.
Competition nearby. Probably wouldn't do it in Detroit, Houston, Tampa or Portland. Seems like the inn is full at these places. I do notice that the tri cities in Washington has no strip clubs. Something to think about.
My answer. I have no clue. But I do have a great idea on where not to put it. If I had to say today probably a truck stop somewhere but with trucking possibly getting automated out, long term it would give me pause.

On the outskirts/suburbs of a major city that has relatively few strip clubs because of overly prudish city ordinances. This would work if and only if the suburb had more lenient ordinances than the adjacent city. A couple of cities come to mind: Cincinnati
and Grand Rapids, MI. I suspect that others will know of other "prudish" cities that would be a candidate for a strip club in a more progressive adjacent suburb.
I'm still intrigued by the prospect of placing a strip club on an Indian reservation (where tribal laws apply but state laws do not) or near an existing casino. See discussion from several years ago: https://app.tuscl.net/discussion/44078
I am not a trucker but I’ve driven past or been in countless truck stops in the middle of nowhere with nothing around them. My thoughts always are “more people than just truckers are stopping in here and why hasn’t anybody thought of putting some sort of business next door to entertain these truckers?”
There a 2 or 3 clubs in the suburbs but no clubs in the city. The Dayton MSA has over 800,000 people including a large Air Force base and two large universities. I would certainly think it could support a few decent clubs.
As for me…
I would go full hippie with an indoor hydroponic garden and stuff like that. And also offer mocktails that have alcohol free “liquor” that tastes like the drink…and can have either nothing in there or CBD with it. And also, whenever a customer purchases an hourly room, if they don’t finish their bottle of whatever, it gets stores in a locker for them for two weeks before it gets poured out.
And also completely ban extras and whatever mileage is ~technically~ not allowed in its local jurisdiction (but oftentimes ignored)… aside from one specific vip area that is on camera and it’s technically a porn making establishment. Yes, people can pay to view people fucking in the club. Dancers and customers can wear a mask or something if they want to protect their identity. Something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Miyaya®-Halloween…
Also, I would give customers place cards like Brazilian steakhouses do where the green side means it’s okay to approach and red means don’t do that right now. In return, I’d probably either offer no house fee/even being outright paid hourly because it would be unfair to tell dancers they can’t hustle all the time if they have that pressure. With a few more rules added on maybe, but nothing excessive. Basically, whatever the structure was before the 1990s for a lot of entertainers. Basically, I’d have a club where the goal is to fill the roster with a lot of laid back dancers who have the chance to make “middling” earnings instead of all-or-nothing like a lot of environments are.
…where would I place said club? I guess whatever location would have a high enough customer population that would react “that’s a cool idea” rather than “that is freaking idiotic” If that’s nowhere, then nowhere it is.
I also would maybe want a club somewhere more mixed race without other nearby club competition. White man clubs are so boring and depress me.
And I found in some dancer group that some Ricks club managers are pressuring dancers to download an app called Pole Position so that clubs managers can rate our looks/behaviors, have dancers use it to clock in for a shift, how they can audition for a club, etc.
Full liquor license while nude is the best, but topless only might work. Second, you need population, so a large metro area (assumes good highway system). Third, workers have to be able to work in a liquor establishment. In Chicago, 21 and over to serve alcohol, but not so in the rest of the state. Third, you need low competition, that knocks out Phoenix and Dallas/Texas.
Buy Tesla stock and spend the proceeds on dances. Lots of them in any club you want. Fly to St Maartens. Costa Rica. Pattaya.
Much cheaper and less hassle than owning a club.
