Offbeat question: why did Super Fuego, the Maryland strip club close?

I know, I know: many if you aren't living in this area; Maryland.

But maybe you can still take a stab at it and answer the question for me.

The Covid Pandemic was in the year 2020. The Maryland strip club Super Fuego closed at some point during 2020. It couldn't outlast the pandemic...

Not a big deal, right? Shit happens, right? I should just read their YMMV reviews, right?

Here's the thing tho: Super Fuego, as I remember started off as Diabo's. But in a different, smaller building. In a different part of town, miles away. It was a predominantly black club. Small venue. Just another low-key, random, small-ish strip club. I didn't get the Spanish name for the club since it was predominantly black. Maybe one of the owners had Spanish roots. I dunno. I visited when I could. The kinda low-key strip club that could either disappear overnight at any time without any warning. Or, be around as-is, exactly at the same spot for another maybe 5 years.

But next thing you know, Diablo's moved. To a different part of town. Into a big-ass warehouse with high-ass ceilings. We were dwarfed in that space. Felt like we always only used 5-10% of that space in that empty big-ass warehouse. The rest was unlit, in darkness. I raised an eyebrow like oh, you're trying to keep this thing going? Sometimes they had day strip club parties. Once there was even a moon bounce in the strip club left over from a civilian community party. We used the moonbounce for the strip club at night.

Diablo's changed it's name to D2s. By the way, Diablo's and D2s both operated nightly. When it was a smaller club, it didn't feel so 'empty'. But in the warehouse, it felt empty. Tall ceilings. Drab walls. Most of it in darkness. I kinda liked it, all the darkness. Felt like Halloween overnight in there. It was in a blue collar industrial area. D2s would have wild promos to entice patronage. Yo, I kinda remember flyers offering explicit stuff at the club placed on car windshields in parking lots.

Thing is this club just kept hobbling on. In a big-ass warehouse. Nightly. Diablo's to D2s. Then next thing you know, it changed from a dinky strip club to a 'gentlman's club'. Not really but they brought in furniture, couches, neon lights, a bar, booths, whatever, a real stage, a DJ booth. Maybe it was new owners. I raised my eyebrows like oh you're trying to keep this thing going?

Now it was called Fuego. And added Spanish women. And all international women. From wherever in the globe. It became glitzy. They had ads on the radio. They had a buzz on the street. Was it a perfect spot. Hell no. But it was a different atmosphere, much much brighter inside that warehouse, now furnished, full dancing staff, international dancers. But the forefront attraction became the different Spanish women, but there were black women too. More local Spanish guys were the patrons. Some nights this club was really rocking. Was it perfect, no. But business was hittin.

Changed it's name to Super Fuego. Ads on the radio. Tension with the international dancing staff, not all ethnicities would get along, the DJ had to play everything for the ladies and the different races and ethnicity in the building, a few Asians too. It was an interesting idea. All that culture in one building. Sure YMMV with all the different girls and culture all in one building.

Business was waning, but no clear reason why. During the years sometimes it'd be closed for awhile without a clear reason. Maybe renovations. Maybe legal issues. But it always came back. Pandemic hits and the club just disappears after awhile. It closed. Sure there were fights and violence over the years. But it's now been closed permanently.

My thing is, this SC has been around over 20 years since I visited when it was merely Diablo's. Back when you'd never predict it would one day become Super Fuego with glitz, radio ads, etc. Seemed like nothing could kill this club.

You know how many dinky clubs fold? You know how many dinky clubs never change names, never move locations, never have different lifetimes. What ended this club?

I'm just wondering aloud. I'm sure it's money or management.

The story of Diablo's is kinda like the rise of Tony Montana from Scarface lol.

Anyway I'm just wondering aloud what the hell happened. This club made it in shoestring nights in a big-ass warehouse as D2s with barely any furniture, just church folding chairs. But as a furnished club Super Fuego, it dies.
