I see a lot of people talking about how the old management of follies failing to bring back Follies into Vivid but has anyone thought about this about getting together and just renting a place for these guys to work at which could be something like Follies?
I’m sure if we bunch of pls here got together, we could Come up with the money to may be lease a place or something? Seriously how hard is it guys? Maybe it is who knows, because does anybody know what the height of an actual Follies chair was?

If it was easy, it would already be done.

If memory serves, Follies shut down after a protracted licensing dispute. I'm not sure about where you live, but here adult entertainment and liquor licenses don't grow on trees. Even the process to move the associated physical address of the business for an existing, valid license is expensive and time consuming.


It's absurd to think a couple guys could toss their money in a pot and open up shop. I mean, it ain't fucking rocket science but the amount of money you'd have to put up is going to be large enough where you're not going to want to be in business with a handful of random perverts from the internet. Not even to consider liability concerns as the associated legal costs to make them manageable.

Perhaps a well funded investment group could realize the profitability and recreate a similar business nearby, but I doubt it would be the best option for their money.

Follies. Not coming back. What i don’t understand is where all the strippers went. Don’t see many new faces at TT If I were the follies guys I would be dialing all the girls and offering an incentive to come back

Whenever I hear how a business hosting nekked women is not viable without booze, I cease to doubt the claims of dropping sperm counts.

Rent a large airbnb
Get strippers.
Charge a nominal house fee
Charge a cover and a spending minimum so strippers get paid

The harder part
Security
Parking....have them park further and provide shuttle service ie rent a van.

This is like when 2 drunk friends say "dude let's open our OWN bar! How hard could it be??" Completely ignoring the logistics of attaining licenses, zoning restrictions, staffing, promotion, and daily upkeep.

Or you could go the illegal route and have SWAT kick down your door. Just happened last October in ATL: https://www.foxnews.com/us/squatters-arr…

You can't just open a new place. NO Atlanta area municipality will ever issue a new adult entertainment license. That is why "new" clubs replace old clubs in the same location.

The buildings that housed the original Flashers, Mardi Gras, Diamond, and both Doll House locations have been bulldozed. So, scratch those. The Follies building is some restaurant. So is Shooters Alley. Oasis is now basically a movie set.
