Topless club shuts its doors

“If I was running a business with employees working there for 20-plus years, I'd have the decency to let them know they no longer have a job”

The man says he'll be there "indefinitely," standing outside the building with the blue doors. via Press-Telegram

Folks, this is an American Icon of a joint! A true legend!
Ask, Magic, Oscar de la Hoya, BOB, Daniel, Stuart etc.
Or the thousands of countless beautiful women who
passed the door. And the countless men who entered,

Well run? Why, Yes! In a grey business enviroment.
What more could anyone ask for? 34 years?

Same owner! Unheard of!

the place is dime a dozen!! They had my bachelor party there and it was lame!!! Iconic??? Sure if you say so. Beutiful women??? I guess if you dont mind em smelling like smoke. That place may have been iconic at one time ,bt in the last five years Id say it was lame, maybe other people felt the same and thats why they are closing!!!

How rotten of John to just shut down and not give anyone notice. Guess he doesn't care if his employees have a job as long as he 'get's money'. Greedy person. Karma will get John, always does.

My favorite place on Southern CA. Nothing like going to Bellflower, eating at Chris & Pitts, enjoying the girls at Fritz & Tits, then mozying over to Hard Times to watch some of the greatest billiard players in the world. Truly a socal cultural experience.
I'll miss you Fritz, thanks for a lot of good times and thank you to all the wonderful ladies.
To all the lovely ladies who worked at Fritz's: May life bring you a hard mattress so that when you sleep on your stomach, your silicone tits won't punch holes in it.

I found out my (ex)husband went to this place when he called me one night with a flat tire.

I'm wondering if he was a bad tipper...

I used to go there with my buddies about 10 years ago and it was fun. Always had a lot of decent looking girls at that place.

Sad but topless is no longer a big thing . Most all the Adult Clubs by Los Angeles International
Airport
went all NUDE about 25 years ago _ and had to sell off the liquor license in order to due this.
Still the clubs make big money $$$ with near beer and the stage and table-top dancers.

Looks like bartender Gina and manager Willie, didn't want their names mentioned in the article.
Anyway, it was a real St. Patrick's Day Massacre with the sudden shutdown of the Bellflower adult Disneyland for guys (and some L-Gals). I wonder what business will be placed in that historic building - Subway, Victoria's Secret? Some of the Bellflower girls are at Fritz Too. However, Bellflower Fritz did have much better looking waitresses ( Donna, Jeanette, Mercedes, Lina, Kanda) than the OC club, hope they get hired there as well. Oh well, life goes on no matter what happens.

I will most definitely miss the $10 dances, I will be talking about this place into my old age. I did see Caramel at the Rhino in Torrance though, but the dances there are $15, but they have happy hour where pitchers of Newcastle are $7. That's one thing I did dig too much about Fritz, only one beer on tap, but again I didn't go there for the beer!

I live on palm street behind Fritz. My Wife asked me what took so long to come back from emptying the trash at night. Now the trash won't get emptied as much.
