WOW didn't see this coming
:wow


Oh by the way...
Im back bitches!

...and still love my Spurs even though I made a disown thread about a week and a half ago. :rollin

[koriwhat]

i saw it coming... i have nothing more to say.

[Capt Bringdown]

“Someone had a couple's massage for $600,” Alcorta said. “They had driven down from Dallas.”

At that price I hope multiple happy endings were included.

[edgar]

No refunds on gift certificates...

Damn Bruce never lost his dirty defense it seems.

[NealwithIt]

Some Mavs fans got owned.

[silverblk mystix]

Mike Finley took over the place.

[ChuckD]

The beginning of the end was when those ex-employees stole the customer list. It's really hard for a business of this type to recover from losing almost their entire customer base over night.

i dunno how you can make a profit operating that sort of business, if you dont offer happy endings and sexual services...everybody knows what goes in there anyway

[Buddy Holly]

He still owns the retail center and has multiple clients renting out space so it's more of a ego hit than financial hit. Something will feel that space up. The north central retail market is pretty hot right now.

This was breaking news 3 weeks ago.

It's been closed for a while. Rich athletes so often throw money into stupid businesses like boutiques.

It is a wise business move actually as he owns the entire shopping center not just the boutique and salon.

Anybody have details as to why the spa shut down? Customer complaints? employee turnover? Poor service?

[polandprzem]

SPA in San Antonio?

that was a bad idea from the begining

[20beastie45]

Nobody wanted to buy a bow tie with there massage!

[GrandeDavid]

Man, Bruce and Yardley were trying to get paid big time with those rates. Unfortunately for them this ain't LA or Miami.

I live very nearby to that location and the salon has been closed for a while now -- I'd say months, more than weeks.

On a side note, I saw Bruce on Saturday at HEB.

[Obstructed_View]

A salon and spa sounds like the business idea of a rich man's wife. At some point it becomes a job or someone else is left to run it.

[Whisky Dog]

The only reason he started that kind of business was to keep his wife busy. Sounds like she's moved on to wanting a new toy.

I didn't know you lived in Laredo.

A third Spur divorce in 12 months??

[Oh, Gee!!]

they rarely had repeat customers due to the fact that Bruce Bowen would often step into their walking paths causing them to twist and sprain their ankles as they unexpectedly stepped on the top of his foot.

Tough D? :lol

[mando6599]

koriwhat, are they getting divorced?

[koriwhat]

koriwhat, are they getting divorced?

i've never seen the chick hook up with anyone i know but she does run around with some of my friends. i've always had my suspicions of her and i feel as if divorce is the reasoning behind the shutdown of her spa and whatnot.

i have no idea if any spurs read this forum so i'm just going to shut up now.

[MB3//]

My sister in law worked there, until Bruce pretty much laid her, and about 10 other employees off right before Christmas.
Everything I've heard about him as a business man leaves a sour taste in my mouth for the guy.

[y2kbug]

Someone told me Yardley was banging a masseuse and Bruce walked in. Shut everything down after that. Don't know if it's true or not.

Now that's impressive! :lol

[MB3//]

Ha ya I saw there was some potential in that post. But seriously, the year before at Christmas time he threw a huge party at his house for all his employees. And gave then a bonus.
The next year he says he wants to have a meeting.
In the meeting he tells them they can either quit, or they have to start paying him a fee to use a stall at the salon.

Not only that but they now have to pay for all the products inside the salon.
Some Christmas bonus.

[DPG21920]

Might have been believable KW until you said she runs around with your friends :lol

[King]

Let's just say that BB has a very justifiable reason for closing the doors on it, and it ain't money.
