TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - It seems the lousy economy is keeping guysaway from strip clubs.
In Tampa - a city known for its adult entertainment businesses -
attendance has dropped at usually thriving strip clubs. Joe Redner,
the owner of the well-known Mons Venus club, says his business is
down 25 percent.
Angelina Spencer is national executive director of the
Association of Club Executives, a group that represents adult
entertainment clubs. She says she fields calls every day from strip
club owners around the country feeling the pinch of a bad economy.
Spencer says entertainment is a luxury item and "one of the
first things people give up."
But Redner says the economy is having another effect on the
business - it's bringing out more women willing to give pole
dancing a try.
