Johnsons SOLD

[Poppie]

From Matt's Facebook page:

Today, we officially sold Johnsons!! Don’t worry, we aren’t going anywhere, we were bought by the first publicly traded gay company and they’re keeping me on for 20 more locations worldwide. Starting w Johnsons Sydney (full nude). The stock is still low to get in on. Pride Holdings, PHSE on the OTC. I’m stoked, this deal has been in the works for the last 9 months and includes 10 other gay brands. Johnsons will have a new location every 6 months, so get ready for us, cause we’re coming to a town near you!

I saw this on Matt’s Facebook page. Interesting move. Now if they can just get a club opened in the US that allows full nudity like the old Swinging Richards.

I'll believe it when I see it. After the Chicago and Atlanta fiascos, he's proven to overpromise and underdeliver

Has anyone looked at the company and the people involved.  This could go belly up

I smell a pump and dump. OTOH, a lot of talent in the organization. I have fond memories of Parliament House in Orlando, which they claim to be associated with. But that was decades ago so not sure what has happened there in the last 20 years.

But perhaps still a house of commons.

More like a house of ill repute.

I went for a week once about 50 years ago. Saw it in a guide … Spartacus or another such book (Damron?) at Toronto’s Glad Day.  Coupled with Disney World attendance I think. The lodgings was certainly an eye opener for a novice. In those days I rented a car.

Hmm... Knowing Matt, I'm sure this will all go down in flames. He needs to stop making promises he can't keep.

Putting a club in Sydney makes sense as the gay scene is kind of dying there with the loss of several clubs including Arc as well as the two gay brothels.  Knight Call still functions online but never reopened their legal gay brothel after covid.  So in theory, Johnsons may have a lot more flexibility in Australia where additional conduct is allowed compared to the usa.
