Maybe there is no such thing as a recession-proof business...<\/p>\n

On the other hand, this WPDE story<\/a> speculates that perhaps Wal-Mart<\/i> put some pressure on this Garden City strip club to close as they opened a new SuperCenter across the street. Certainly, the coming of Wal-Mart<\/i> seems to be what closed the nearby Krispy Kreme<\/a> (though the building is still standing so far).<\/p>\n

I believe The Pink Pony<\/i> building started life as a steakhouse, though the WPDE piece says the club had been there for a dozen years.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 4 May 2011<\/b>: Added Western Steer<\/i> to the post title based on the comments.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 12 April 2016<\/b> -- This place is now being renovated to open as Flapjacks Pancake Cabin<\/a>:<\/p>\n
