Misleading to think that this article in WehoOnline has anything to do with the West Hollywood location. The chain began decades ago and expanded. The West Hollywood location is not that old.

It started long before it was filled with drunk bachelorette parties.

It’s more a case of West Hollywood being passed the torch and crossing the finish line❗ 👏🏽

Note that drunk bachelorettes are NOT physically difficult to handle and they tend to spend a good deal of 💲money on their parties.
