BEVERLY HILLS, CA—It was bound to happen someday: Iconic retailer Hustler Hollywood, which has stores in more than two dozen U.S. cities—even one in Tulsa, Oklahoma!—has opened its doors for business at 1615 N. Clybourn Avenue in Chicago. This location marks the 31st store for the nationwide chain and the first in the state of Illinois. The retailer has signed a 10-year lease with options to extend and has spent $1M to renovate this multi-level 5,000 square foot location, which will add more than 15 jobs to the local economy. The boutiques are designed to be intimate, sophisticated and are curated with only the finest, top-selling products on the market.
Hustler Hollywood is part of the adult entertainment empire built by Larry Flynt and projects that it will have 35 stores by the end of 2019. It has been pursuing an aggressive expansion plan since 2016. The first Hustler Hollywood opened in 1998 on the famed Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, making this the company’s 21st year in business.
“Our typical shopper is female, between the ages of 35-55, and we are a favorite stop for couples who are on a date night,” said a company representative. “We are also seeing more and more millennials coming in to shop, but we still find that our typical shoppers are over 30 and predominately female.”
“We have had our sights on Chicago for the last three years, taking our time to ensure that we chose the perfect location. Lincoln Park has a great mix of dining, entertainment and shopping, and we love the co-tenancy surrounding our store. We look forward to being a part of the community for years to come,” said Philip Del Rio, VP of Retail.
Hustler Hollywood is an upscale lifestyle boutique that offers all the top pleasure product brands, lingerie and much more, including an extensive selection of high-quality toys, apparel, sportswear, accessories, jewelry, gifts and novelties, along with bath and body items. The store has knowledgeable staff who are trained to provide education and recommendations based on individual needs and who are dedicated to ensuring that every customer feels welcome and comfortable while experiencing a high-end shopping environment.
