ATLANTA, GA (2008-03-11) The battle between the city of Johns Creek and the Love Shack continues. Yesterday a judge reaffirmed his prior ruling that the store is operating illegally, and should be fined $3000 dollars a day if it stays open.
In the prior ruling, the store was told to change its merchandise so as not to qualify as an adult-business, move to a zone where adult businesses are allowed, or to close. Mayor Michael Bodker says as recently as March 9th, the store was open, and code inspectors found it was still sexually-oriented:
BODKER: We're not trying to ban the business, we are simply asking that the business either operate truly as a non-adult business or move to a location where it can operate as one.
But Cary Wiggins, lawyer for Love Shack's owner, says the store has made changes to avoid the adult-business designation.
WIGGINS: Long story short, the store is reducing its merchandise that could be characterized as sexually-explicit.
Wiggins plans to appeal the court's ruling.
