Developer suggests sex emporium for Olympia

OLYMPIA — A developer says if he can't build a new grocery store in Olympia he'll build a sex emporium on the site.

OLYMPIA — A developer says if he can't build a new grocery store in Olympia he'll build a sex emporium on the site.

The Centralia businessman, Levi Bussanich, says he's been working with city planners for more than a year, trying to build a store that would be operated by WinCo Foods. He says he's frustrated he hasn't been able to get a wetland buffer reduction.

He already operates an adult video store next to the site and says the emporium would be an expansion.

The Olympian reports that if he is unsuccessful with the grocery store, the sex emporium could include strippers, a fetish and bondage area, an adult motel and a drive-up window for customers.
