So I'm driving home from work and see neon lights for "Elite Cabaret" and flags advertising "now open". Apparently what was a music venue is now a strip club.
This puts us at 8 strip clubs in a 9 mile radius.... the same number of clubs I'm aware of in Las Vegas.... which is, of course, a giant tourist town with the ability to support them all. Phoenix is defnitely not. These are not divey little bars that just happen to have strippers either, they are bona fide, decent-attempt-at-elegant, clubs.
This little 9 mile radius is also not the only option in the Phoenix conglomerate for strip clubs either, so it's not like people come from the north/west/south; those areas all have 2 or 3 clubs a piece as well.
I'm wondering if this is going to dilute the customer base.... i.e., instead of dividing customers between 3 clubs, now they're divided among 8... thus slowing business down even more (and it's been BAD lately due to summer approaching; a terrible time to open one, IMO).
What do you guys think of this? How many clubs does your town have and do you feel the population can support them enough?
