Hey does anyone have any information on starting a bar/strip club? Preferably strip club.

I think it'd take more money than I'd have to throw at it at first...

Thanks!

 

There was one for sale in Texas on craigslist, but that was months ago. No, I"m not kidding.

a little more info:

i think a strip club would do great in my city, 2 "major" universities, a couple community colleges close by, and the closest strip club is 45 minutes away

 

There may be issues with zoning, otherwise I'm sure it would have already been done. Most good ideas have already been thought of. Additionally you may have trouble getting a license for a strip club and especially a liquor license.

 

^^ You need to check on regulations in your area. I think topless are fine within city limits as long they are certain distance away from schools. Full nude has to be outside city limits... at least in San Antonio.

Excerpt: Alcohol Purchases in Bars, Restaurants Hurt by Economic Downturn

Nearly 44% of bar managers, bar owners and bartenders report a decrease in consumer traffic at their establishments, according to a May 2008 study from The Nielsen Company and Bevinco. Among the 500 bar operators surveyed, 25% note a decrease in the number of on-premise drinks ordered, and 22% say customers are ordering less-expensive drinks. The bars were located in US nightclubs, hotels, casual restaurants and fine-dining restaurants. Among these types of establishments, the casual dining sector appears hardest hit, with 46% of respondents reporting a decline.

Consumers also report that they are cutting back. According to a May 2008 Nielsen consumer survey of 3,500 consumers, two-thirds (66%) of fine-dining patrons say they are going out less often than a year ago. Their sentiments are echoed by 65% of those who visit nightclubs, 55% of bar patrons, 59% of casino and resort patrons and 52% of casual diners.

Do the research, talk to other professionals in the Industry and consult your local business adviser. In your chosen industry i bet the meetings are awesome


Since you will selling alcohol I highly recommend looking for "Beverage Information Group Handbooks"
They are very expensive but you might have them in your local library or check with your counselor.
