A few dancers have mentioned on their Instagram accounts that DV-LFP will be closing on November 1st. The reason stated is a six-month closure for remodeling. That immediately sounded suspicious to me. In 25 years of going to strip clubs, in L.A. and Seattle, I've never known of a club to close for remodeling, much less for six monhs. (In that period of time it maybe could demolish the buildling and rebuild new on the same property). I've seen a few clubs do a minor remodel while still keeping the club opern. Pandora's is a recent example.
That would be easy to document. If anyone of you drives by the club regularly, just check the parking lot for construction verhicles (carpenters, plumbers, electrians, etc.) Maybe that might not be visible for a week or two after November 1st.
Another dancer speculated that the club is just closing, period. That I'd tend to believe, more than the remodeling story.

Probably closing. A remodeling is usually them taking a month to decide if its actually reasonable to stay in business or not. I do think though it will just close in general just due to the location. It just doesn't make sense to have a club all the way up there versus just closing it and just having the Pike Place and Stadium one.
Seattle Club Goer is a veteran who has seen it all and his judgement is credible. This club has been profoundly mismanaged since reopening after Covid. This began with not rehiring the pre-Covid manager who was well liked by the talent and created a welcoming ambience for visitors. The men given control in her place were unpleasant and didn't seem to care about customer satisfaction. Over time, virtually all of their well-known talent migrated to Pandora's, and other places near and far, for reasons that they would explain clearly to P's customers. Their series of profit recovery policy changes necessitated by the resulting loss of talent and customers were dysfunctional. I stopped going there within a year. I suspect they were living primarily on business travelers based on the brand and unfamiliar with the Seattle scene. I'm amazed it took corporate so long to surrender.
UPDATE ON CLOSURE - Well now, maybe it could be true that the club is only closing for remodeling. Its own Instagram account posted, yesterday, a lengthy explanation and inviting its customer to attend the other Deja Vu clubs in the area. However, it didn't mention a time frame for the work.
