Scorpio Club will soon be Mermaids Business magnates the Chow brothers are moving their Mermaids Strip Club from downtown Auckland to Karangahape Rd. It will join Calendar Girls and Las Vegas, nestled among gay and straight venues on the GLBTI nightlife strip. Mermaids will move from Gore St to former Scorpio Club at 322 K’ Rd, next to the ANZ Bank. The site is being refurbished and is due to open in mid to late 2013. It will be near gay venues Switch Bar and Family, whose owner Wayne Clark thinks the Mermaids move “will be a good thing, just like Calendar Girls, because it attracts an older clientèle who are generally well-behaved".
