Sex Shop Granted License

LONGVIEW — A third sexually-oriented business, Venus, has been licensed in Longview. According to KETK, the owner hopes to have the adult novelty sex shop open in time for Valentine’s Day sales.
“Our busiest season is Valentine’s Day, when love is in the air. An end-of-the year opening also coincides with winter, the time of the year when people will be indoors,” said Robert Duggan, president of Gregg County Video.
Duggan’s September 13 application to open a sex store on FRJ Drive was approved October 17, after city staff determined it met requirements of Longview’s sexually oriented business ordinance. The application was delayed while surveyors determined whether the building site was far enough removed from a neighboring residence.
