The U.S. Strip Clubs Industry

April 11th, 2015- Mumbai, India : Bharatbook.com announces a report,on “.The U.S. Strip Clubs Industry”. The study combines data published from a variety of economic studies, a trade association and magazine, with comments on relevant blogs by club owner/operators.

This new study is the definitive analysis of the little researched strip clubs (or “gentlemen’s clubs”) industry. This is a mature $2.5 billion business that represents about 3,500 clubs and 350,000 exotic dancers. Yes, the business can be a cash cow, but not all clubs are profitable and many hassles accompany the business—from hostile community opposition, zoning boards, local ordinances, long hours, and unpredictable dancers working as independent contractors.

This study unveils just how strip clubs operate, how they generate revenues, their profit margins, investment costs to start a new club, customer demographics, the industry’s growth and dollar value from 1987 to 2017 forecast, the 2-tiered industry structure and differences between small local clubs grossing less than $500,000/year and upscale “gentlemen’s” clubs that can make $50+ million in hot markets such as Las Vegas.

The study combines data published from a variety of economic studies, a trade association and magazine, with comments on relevant blogs by club owner/operators. Covers customer demographics, operating ratios, the evolution of upscale gentlemen’s clubs, top city markets, effects of recessions, dancers’ fight for minimum wages, industry consolidation, industry legitimization, sales rankings of top clubs in the U.S, plus competitor profiles of chains such as: Rick’s Cabaret, VCG Holdings, Spearmint Rhino, Scores Holding Corp., Déjà Vu, and Sapphire’s Gentlemen’s Club.
