day before New Year’s Eve he closes the notorious strip club “Cabaret Kattan” by Løkholmen Stromstad.

To this strippebulen, Norwegians flocked to sexual experiences throughout 27 years, writes Fredriksstad sheet.

– Joint account with his wife and the internet have destroyed like us, says Stefan Ottosson (57).

Having tried to sell it in a few years, and he is now up and retire.

78 PERCENT NORWEGIANS

Strip Chief Ottosson told the newspaper in Østfold that the customer base has just been Norwegians have veered the extra kilometers Svinasund down to the attractive cabin area by Løkholmen Stromstad – when they are just as well in Sweden «harry trade.”

– The 78 percent of customers have come from Norway, but now neither the Norwegians longer, says strip club boss.

50,000 A MONTH

Ottosson has for five years lived by individual customers and commissions his itinerant stripper is tapping into.

Stripper Swedes come from all over Europe, and last year claimed the two creases stripper who worked there then, that they earned 50,000 dollars on four-week job at Cabaret Kattan.

– For us, this is good profit, told the “truth” (25) and “Saga” (22), which also stated that it is stripping girls who earn money – while club owner and landlord Ottosson just got some few percentages of the money that customers would pay to see them strip, dance or perform other services.

– Steffan is only ten percent. It’s we who are the stars, the two told the newspaper in Timber Town.

– probably NOT

But percentages from stripper operation is after all mostly from Ottossons side, and the long periods when there is no stripper where – sits holder largely behind its disc – with extremely little to do.

– I’ve been open 86 hours a week. As I sit here for 14 hours every day of the days I have openly and between three and four customers, said it myself that I can not drive anymore, says Ottosson.

Initially named business Vildkattan and was a brothel. In 1976 the business was moved and brothel business was discontinued in 1982.

– These places will die out by itself, said police in Strømstad last year.

It got him right in.

– Yes, the internet has taken over large parts of the industry. Border trade stagnates or declines. And when the husband and wife have joint bank account, it is not anymore, not when they can check each other’s account, he says – and remember the better times, when people paid with cash.

– I’ll stay open to and including the last day before New Year’s Eve, but it’s completely over.

– I AM PLEASED

– Is it sad to close after so many years?

– Yes, of course it is, but I’m also happy. I have reached my goal and got utav this is what I had dreamed about. Now I have saved up enough money and can retire at the age of 57 years.

– What happens to the house?

– I have tried to sell it but no one wanted to pay a million dollars for it. I have tried to rent out the entire club too, but no one will take this further. Therefore I use the house as my own retirement home, said Ottosson.
