Bodyrub license at Swedish Touch costs $ 8500
I recently learned that the Bodyrub license that the Swedish Touch has, the only supposedly legal bodyrub license in Vancouver, costs them $ 8,500 / year.
Now we know why Swedish Touch wants $ 130 for the room fee. Furthermore, the rent at the Touch is $ 8,000/month. Not that surprised about that; typical monthly rent for stores along Robson St is $ 12,000/month.
Madame Cleos and Platinum Club and all the others that have not been raided yet all pay standard business license fees of $ 180/year so supposedly cannot do the same level of erotic bodyrub that Swedish Touch can do. Go figure.
A bodyrub license in Burnaby, Richmond and Surrey costs $ 3,000/year. In Coquitlam it's $ 5,000/year. I guess this is one way to keep the operators honest.
