Number One: Select the general location of the strip club and get the city or county ordinances for adult entertainment. Starting a strip club from scratch is primarily an exercise in legal wrangling with the city or county planning commission.
It is much smarter to take over an existing club. Club brokers do exist. The best source for adult club information is the Exotic Dancer family of yearly magazines.
in Edmonton, if you start a strip club, you talk with the bikers first. They don't own the club, but they expect you to book their dancers. Most of the strip clubs in Edmonton are owned by Asians. And they have to book their dancers through Independent Entertainment (or Independent Artists) same company, same bikers.....
Originally posted by Sarah Goldberg Anyone have any input? And how much cash?
Also how much do they make?
Too much overhead, and you need a lot of start up cash. Even the most successful owners are hard pressed to take home more than $5K a week net from one establishment. Then depending on where you start up, you have to deal with local zoning laws, public complaints, backfire from local community leaders, and the list goes on.
