Topless Coffee Shop A Hit In Small Maine Town

Quem oportet caelum quidem suscipere usque in tempora restitutionis omnium, quae locutus est Deus per os sanctorum suorum a saeculo prophetarum. (Acts 3:21)

On Monday, Donald Crabtree opened Grand View Topless Coffee Shop in Vassalboro, Maine, where the waiters and waitresses serve their customers topless, according to CNN.

The coffee shop has been open less than a week. So far the customers are mostly couples and women.

In a town with fewer than 4.500 residents, the topless coffee shop is booming with business.

Paul Crabtree, the owner's brother, describes business so far as "fantastic".

"It's just been crowds mobbing in", he said.

Donald Crabtree faced initial opposition to his plan, but he won the right to go ahead in a planning board hearing last week.

Many local residents were irate over the idea of combining coffee and nudity.

Crabtree, however, saw a profitable business venture.

Crabtree said: "I know what people want".

Crabtree continued: "People like nudity, and coffee is profitable".

The flood of job applications - more than 150 - for Grand View Topless Coffee Shop reflected the rough job market.

Crabtree hired 10 women and five men under stringent requirements, including friendliness and, what he considered most important, that the wait staff "treat everyone equally".

Crabtree said: "The economy is so bad. Everyone's losing their homes, their ties, everything they own. People leave here happy and can't wait to come back. It's nice to see people smile again".

Now, I cannot wait for a topless hardware store.

Wouldn't combining sex with tools be a great idea?

Topless Church services would certainly attract more visitors to the Church.

42 % of Churches have fewer than 5 visitors each week, and 9 % of Churches have no visitors at all during a week.
