Studio 10 is Rose landlord. Not partner: owner

Studio 10 owner Andre Trahan is leasing seven rooms to Rose's Escort
Service, says Studio owner Andre Trahan.

"She's leased the rooms from me and one has been available to her for
a while now," he said this morning.

As reported earlier by SooToday.com, Rose's Escort Service placed an
advertisement in the Sault Star saying a Bar and Brothel would be
opening at Studio 10 on the corner of Queen Street West and Hudson
Street this coming weekend.

In response to that and reports that others were also planning to set
up brothels around town before any city bylaws were in place, City
Council held a special meeting yesterday.

A moratorium was placed on brothels that is to last until the recently
changed law banning them comes into place in March 2013 and until the
city has had adequate time for public consultations and research
needed to create a bylaw governing brothels and bawdy houses in Sault
Ste. Marie.

Trahan said Rose's Escort Service has signed a lease with him, paid
its rent and taken possession of at least one room already.

He is not aware of what the service is doing with that room but Trahan
says he does know the service plans to move its office and operations
into the building, if it hasn't already done so, and to be ready to
operate out of the Studio this weekend.

What those operations will be is yet to be determined and something
he, as landlord, is not privy to.

Studio 10 is the Sault's only fully nude strip club and has been in
business for more than 20 years.

Besides exotic dancers, it's also known for its deep-fried mushrooms
and chicken wings.

An adult clothing and novelty boutique, Amore, is also located in the building.
