Clubs closings for good?

[oldbutstillgoing]

The longer this goes on, obviously the harder it is to come back and open up a club again. I can see that some of the small privately owned clubs could close for good. Does anyone know not guessing or rumor but actually know have any clubs that are indeed closing permanently?

[Cumflywithme42]

No but I think social-distance will a big part of the new normal until doctors find a real cure this virus kills people to eazy for the world to go back to normal I also think movie theaters are going to gone also

Outside of rent and insurance costs, those places should have minimal fixed costs. Assuming they were profitable before this, I assume they will open up afterward.

Those are my thoughts as well. But, the owner of pandoras ft worth must be hurting. All that money to remodel, open for a couple of weeks then get shut down. Of course, if owners have Deep Pockets the weather this out, then there could be some good tax write-offs for them. I figure when the clubs open, there will be a good turnout at first because there's a lot of stupid people out there. But I think it'll be quite a while, maybe until a vaccine is readily available, before the clubs start packing it in near what it was before all this

Well, another way to look at it is Darwin is clearing out the stupid ones. All the strippers and the customers who can't wait, will be gone in 3 weeks after opening.


In all seriousness though, its going to be tough to be the first one back ANYWHERE. First one in church? First one at a ball game? I think we all suspect that it would not surprise us that a week after a major sporting event or concert or large church gathering, etc., that we read that dozens if not hundreds of people got infected or reinfected with CV19.

Just like when I'm driving, I'm never the first one into an intersection where the light just turned green, I doubt I'll be the first one to run back to a large public event. (or sadly, a strip club . )

I dont know, I'm starting to climb the walls. The ad on Pornhub, Tired of looking at Porn? Finally can answer Yes. I'm sure if you went to a good club like CL, you can be as public lewdness as you & the dancer want to be and nobody will be offended because we all need an outlet.

100% agree.

If/when the strip clubs re-open, sure, there may be some strip club junkie guys that still go in, but since most customers who frequent the strip clubs are old, fat and probably have underlying health issues to boot, I doubt that the initial few months turnout will be much. And once the covid-19 cases make a come back, the clubs will have to shut down again.

Once the clubs are open for a while, there is a mass quantity vaccine for covid-19 readily available at any doctor's office and guys are not dying in hospital beds after one or more trips to the strip club with asymptomatic young dancers who have been touching all over them, then that is when I return to the strip clubs.

One of the justifications I told myself over the last few years when I was going to the clubs a lot more than I should have been, was that I should enjoy it while it lasted, because for one reason or another it wouldn’t last forever.

Wish I had more fun at Fantasy Ranch before it closed. But I had a good time at The Fare before it got shut down.

the Owners better have a side profitable business, or that write-off is simply a loss.

I think it's too early to gauge what clubs may or may not survive. I feel like most people are sensing the end of this virus thing, by June or so. so many are climbing the walls now, that even a large reduction in new cases will send many into the clubs. Hell, at Walmart the other day, it was wall-to-wall people, nobody seemed to know anything about a virus

[AmericanHardwood]

Close. Not likely
I do not think a new one can even get a permit
They stay open under the same owner.
Manager change. Liquor license in his name.

But I do t think by one can open a new club
So the ones that are open now is a cash cow
Maybe not now but later.
They could always sling burgers and have the girls deliver out back ��

[Bestman200600]

Have the girls do a car wash and give out phone numbers to clients.

[DFWClubgoer]

The business model is all cash and what gets reported and what is made are worlds apart!
Plus they are a small business since danders are independent contractors. The government SBA will end up propping them up they’ll be fine.

[BooneDog]

They're specifically excluded from receiving SBA money. In order to qualify:

Applicant does not present live performances of a prurient sexual nature or derive directly or indirectly more than de minimis gross revenue through the sale of products or services, or the presentation of any depictions or displays, of a prurient sexual nature.

They are of course suing. So are the lobbyists (also excluded). Interestingly, hedge fund managers apparently qualify.

And they were left out until phase 3 of the guidelines of opening back up. Might be until June before strip clubs pen back up.
