This is such good news. Without a doubt, this shop will be a force of nature
Great news! Initially, Tiktok Nundah was very famous and very busy shop since they had many non-asians MLs. I hope new opium massage will bring non-asians to get back the same amazing vibes as previous.
Good news but next door to cafe 63
So everyone who sitting down drinking there latte see you walk in and out
@Fred. Who are the 2 ladies on the roster please?
OMG Good Luck Poppy
But the rent is so expensive there
Basic 3 room shops are $2.800 K a month some with a shower
66 is too close
Herps
PS I know all shops North side and average rentals per month via my contacts
Nobody cares, put it in your CV.Quote:

'Opium Massage', seriously?Quote:

Yves Saint Laurent seems to agree as those words are used in the description of their well know perfume of the same name.Quote:

YSL launched their 'Opium' fragrance in 1977. I doubt they would make that choice in today's world.
There are many ways to name a business/massage shop in an intriguing and individual way, but I would avoid any connections/associations with drugs.
Just my two cents.
Probably matches the profession of the real ownersQuote:

Hey Herps, do you think there was an incentive to take it on (reduced rent)? Yes Sir
Yes
I have looked at many shops up for lease on the North -Side
I have been offered free rent for a month and new floor coverings or upgrades inside if I lease the shop-or reduced rent for 12 months then a 10% increase if a 3-year lease is signed
Poppy would require 10 to 15 customers a day to run that shop IMO
This area has a few massage shops close to this shop - Bamboo and others
I will only lease a shop in an area where no other shops exist
I need 4 rooms-carpark -transport for the girls - shower wash basin in rooms- kitchen -lounge - and a main road location-I looked at many shops for lease all over the north side and have not found a good location to date--A good shop requires big money
There are too many shops in some suburbs within walking distance of other shops
I sold My Business May 2025 for a good- profit to travel Thailand
Just Asking you Guys were -is Mr Smithy Chips Bogan Man gone I need to contact him
Herps
PS I think Poppy would need 15 customers a day and hot young girls to make a good profit
Thanks. You've just proven my point.Quote:

Northsiders will be happy they don't need to cross the river anymore.
That’s quite an interesting name. Gonna go see what it’s about this
I actually think it’s a really interesting name. “Poppy” is the flower, and “Opium” is the fruit that comes from it — maybe it’s meant to symbolize growth or successQuote:

What is a fair price Sir with stunning staff and do they charge less than the old Chinese Boilers?
I know all prices my girls charged Sir
Good Luck Poppy once again
I went past with one of my ex-Staff-a-Thai today around 2.00 PM
The shop fitters' bits and bobs were in the front room area reception
About 3 Meters from the door customers of cafe 66 were sitting outside having a snake
They glanced over at me as I looked through the glass door
Boomerang is very busy as well as I have attended
With another couple of massage shops within walking distance
I saw 2 Thai lady boys close to the shop car park unloading a car
Maybe they have an Interest as well
Hot girls can be hard to find as in stunning girls- young and slim
The name does not worry me but it is an unusual name IMO
Just Saying
Ok...all shops are owned by Chinese, and then they have a forum to discuss the shops they own amongst themselves......who wudda thunk...Quote:

Imagine you are someone in need of a massage, you walk through an area and you spot two shops, both are next to a well frequented coffee shop with lots of outdoor seating. One shop is named Jacaranda Massage, the other one Opium Massage. You know nothing about both shops. Which one do you choose?
