 A
new adult boutique selling upmarket erotic goods is about to open in
Hove.
A banner above the new Taboo store in Blatchington Road declares:
Hove is about to get sexy.
Owner Tim Robinson has given the shop a £50,000 refit ahead of its
opening on January 18.
He already runs a Taboo boutique in Surrey Street, Brighton, and Lust
at Gardner Street in the city centre.
The new Hove store replaces the former Ignition sex shop which closed
in May 2009. Ignition raised eyebrows when it first opened in 2003.
Robinson said he has turned the property form a traditional sex shop
into an upmarket adult boutique: The fact that the shop already had a
licence was a factor in us choosing the site. We have spent a huge
amount of money on refurbishing the shop and we are a completely
different style to what was previously there. We already have an
award-winning shop in Brighton and we see ourselves as a high end adult
boutique, not a sex shop.
He said he has plans to open more shops in other parts of the country
over the next year.
