Stay classy.
Everything you hoped and dreamed for.
Typo in title not typo.
Having lived the life that I did working overseas, and owned my own brewery for 8 years, the last guy dream career I can think of is Quality Control and Inventory management at the Whorehouse. I suspect this is what it would look like.
I find this sentence interesting"
Full licquor and full contact.
Bad spelling aside, this is the image that is conjured up by the word "contact":

If I were to guess I think it's St Maarten:

Seriously though, the club is probably being put up for sale to random foreigners because the current owner has got himself into some kind of trouble that he needs to flee the island to escape...trouble that might then follow the new owner. If there wasn't trouble following this club it would be sold behind closed doors to a local buyer in the industry.

I kind of like the idea of retire in the Caribbean. My pension if it still exists will go further and I think I would do well cash wise when local restrictions are a bit lax and I can have a few locals on the take.
Sounds like a great place to film a continuation of "Burn Notice" starring forcibly retired special forces members who know too much.

The Caribbean is much more appealing than where this place is.
I am going to guess it was a money laundering operation that has come to the end of it's road. As such, it is going to look good on paper but not in substance. Maybe that is the "Contact" being mentioned.
Being sold in the MN Craigslist is an interesting touch.
In reply to NOHOME:
I'm sure it is. A bit of googling shows its not where I though it was but I still think I could make something of it. I was hoping a convenient fuel stop for coke merchants to duck in, overpay for a fill up while their henchmen hand over a few bucks in the jiggle joint. It seems they're trying to clean things up but I would imagine I could still fleece a few tourists off the cruise ships.
Wait, what makes it a gentleman's club? I didn't see any car posters, video games, dartboards, humidors, 4-post lifts or anything else that would make it attractive to gentlemen.

Well you live in NYC right now, so only a little further.
Only if you plan to go without AC...running it on Caribbean electricity will cost at least as much as heating oil and sweaters.
EVERYTHING costs more in the Islands. Crazy taxes, electricity will be at least twice what you are used to. Same for gas. Food not too bad, but booze will be cheaper. Bribes are a cost of doing business. Finding decent help will make you nuts. Soon come, Mon will be part of your vocabulary. We have thought about it, decided not worth it, and I do have excellent friends down there. But, if you want a Grand Adventure, go for it. Oh, check on getting permission to move there and own a business. St. Maarten is France South, so get ready for some interesting laws.
