“I misunderstood some of the guidelines and took corrective action to fix them,” said Ralph James, general manager of Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club.
James says that since strip clubs and other sex-related businesses are expressly barred from opening, they operate as another type of business.
“There are really no guidelines for clubs, at the moment, I’ve heard of them, they are mainly guidelines for bars and restaurants, so we have followed the guidelines for bars and taverns in terms of safety protocols,” he said. added James.
The club says it takes the safety of customers, staff and facilitators seriously and doubles the security measures after the closure of the inspection.
“The big change is that the animators will have peaks now,” James said.
