strip clubs and gentrification
Tuesday, March 23, 2021 4:56 AM
In the city I live in, Indianapolis, there has been a decrease in the number of strip clubs as middle class customers with disposable income move further out of the city into outer suburbs. This migration has reversed recently as younger people move to gentrified areas around the downtown area.
I haven't seen any turnaround in the clubs, though, from these potential new customers. These young people might head down to the hipster coffee shop to hang out but I don't see them in the local strip clubs. Is this true about other large cities? If it is, is it because younger middle class guys just aren't interested in strip clubs or is it because the urban strip clubs have adopted a business model that doesn't appeal to them?
