Fairvilla is a chain of adult retail stores based in Orlando, Florida. It is owned by Bill Murphy and Shari Murphy.[1][2]
Background
Fairvilla opened its first location, called Fairvilla Twin Cinema, in 1971 in Orlando, Florida. Initially, it opened as a general theater, but, following the release of Deep Throat in 1972, it began showing adult soft-core features.
In 1991, Fairvilla Twin Cinema became Fairvilla Adult Video.[3] The store added gifts, toys and lingerie and changed its name to reflect its expanded offerings, becoming Fairvilla Megastore in 1993. Fairvilla openedШаблон:When four additional locations in Florida.
In 2002, when opening the third store, owner Bill Murphy filed a lawsuit against the city of Key West, because they refused to grant the store an adult business license.[4] The store also met with some controversy when it opened its fourth store on the tourist-laden street International Drive in 2012.[5]
