Poppy is opening a new shop at the old TikTok Nundah. it's called Opium Massage, 1 Aspinall St, Nundah. The WeChat roster has 24 Oct as the pre opening date, not sure what that means. There are 2 ladies from Poppys Paradise on the roster
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

Hey Herps, do you think their was an incentive to take it on (reduced rent)?
'Opium Massage', seriously?
I get the connection to 'Poppy', but still a strange, and probably not overly smart choice.
Hibiki and Yukiha.
I thought it was quite clever. Connection to Poppy, but also something that is described as intoxicating and addictive. I'd be hoping my new shop achieved an addictive habit for punters. Yves Saint Laurent seems to agree as those words are used in the description of their well know perfume of the same name.
Yeah, but not in a good way.
I think nowadays most people would have negative associations with the word......Opium wars (in particular Chinese customers), opium addiction, opium crisis, just to name a few.
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 owners
Except that YSL rereleased Opium in 2014 as Black Opium, so clearly they weren't too concerned.
Never seen a Chinese man walk into or out of a parlour in years+ of punting. Seen plenty of indians
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.
Once established, it's hard to change the name of a product line, but OMG OMG......'Black' and an addictive substance together in a product name....how racist....how come the woke crowd hasn't discovered this one yet?!?
And yet there is a fairly active Chinese language forum where all the currently popular shops and ladies are being discussed.
Doesn’t take Batman to figure out they own and run the shops
