P.J. King voice over: This year, over 65 hundred failing bars closed their doors for good. With the pandemic in the past year, that number will grow exponentially and If things don’t change soon The Astonishing Strip Club from Malibu, California will become just another statistic. Established in 2020, this once popular hotspot is owned and operated by Ashton James Riker, a former supermodel turned rock star turned professional wrestler and Cologne Entrepreneur.
(A slideshow flashes across the screen at a rapid pace of various photographs and video clips that highlight AJR dressing the part for each and every genre mentioned previously. Posing on the fashion runway in trend setting threads. Biting the strings of an electric guitar in a chrome studded leather jacket. Wearing colorful spandex while leaping off the top turnbuckle to deliver his patented Astonisher move, an imploding 450 splash. Spritzing a cologne cloud of “Stupefy” and walking through it.)
P.J. King voice over: In 2021, the Covid-19 pandemic caused this once thriving business to close indefinitely leaving AJR no choice but to open the doors bust open the books and call for help from Bar Rescue. Running a bar isn’t just a business, it’s a science. From the height of the bar stools to where your eyes first focus on the menu and nobody knows more about bar science than Jon Taffer.
(A quick video package highlights Jon Taffer rolling out a blueprint, circling changes that need to be made and berating stubborn owners who are resistant to making changes to their failed business.)
Jon Taffer: “ I don’t embrace excuses, I embrace solutions.”
P.J. King voice over: For over 40 years Jon Taffer has transformed over hundreds of bars nationwide. With his years of experience and no nonsense attitude, Jon will turn these money pits into money makers.
(A glass beer mug slides across a bar top and shatters into the camera as the “bar rescue” logo appears.)
P.J. King voice over: Welcome to Malibu. Home of sun, surf and serene scenery such as Escondido Falls, Solstice Canyon, Malibu Creek State Park, Mishe Mokwa Trail and the Amazing Beaches in Malibu. A robust area encompassed by the Uber elite and ultra wealthy. Jon Taffer, One of the world’s most prominent bar and nightlife consultants, ventures across America to a strip bar in desperate need of digging itself out of the money pit debt and turning a professional profit once again. To help resurrect this once thriving business, Taffer has brought in world renowned chef Tiffany Derry and actor turned mixologist expert Joseph Brooke.
(Camera cuts to Jon Taffer sitting in the driver’s side of his black escalade that is parked in an undisclosed parking lot with two of his hired consultants. We switch to a different view from the dashboard camera revealing expert chef Tiffany Derry seated in the middle of the backseat and professional mixologist Joseph Brooke sitting in the passenger side.)
Jon Taffer: The average household income is just over $150 thousand dollars per year! Pepperdine University is a five minute drive away! So that means there’s potential for a younger crowd WITH lots of money! That sweet, sweet moolah should be rolling in hand over fist so we need to find out why it isn’t and then fix the problem, agreed?
(The two hired consultants nod and smile in full agreement of the statements made.)
Jon Taffer: I have had hidden cameras installed last night without the staffs knowledge to see if there is anything possible or potential wrong doing. So here’s what I want to do. I’d like to send you both in as my undercover spies in a recon mission to get a better feel and understanding of how this place is run.
Joseph Brooke: Alright. Sounds good.
Tiffany Derry: Let’s do it..
