In the Poconos a pub owner is trying to sell his business as a strip club and neighboring shops are not happy about it.
Werry’s Pub and Motel in Marshalls Creek is up for sale and one of it’s for sale ads is causing some controversy.
The owner said he took an ad out in an adult magazine trying to sell the spot as the perfect place for a gentleman’s club.
The owner, Middle Smithfield Township Supervisor Bob said, “It’s not 1940. It’s just another entertainment, a facility, it’s no different.”
He added, “It will not decrease property values.”
Township officials said right now the property isn’t zoned for a strip club but a new code book, which is expected to be adopted sometime this fall, would allow it.
“There’s a tree farm, a salon, a car place and then a strip club? It’s not necessary,” said Nicole Barbera. She works at a salon across the street from the property. “The Pocono Mountains is a family-oriented area. I don’t believe that a gentleman’s club is appropriate.”
Seth Richard agrees. He owns the tree farm next door. “I don’t feel it is necessarily a positive addition to our community,” he said.
The owner of the Werry Pub said a strip club might not be the only option. He said there are also talks to put in a drug and rehabilitation facility on the property, something local businesses said they would support.”
“I think that would be a positive addition to the community,” Richard added.
