This is in Paoli. Locals have been asking about the Joanna now Rising Sun Spa again. Seems like the “extras” for men are all over online?
The issue for me with these places is the potential of underage girls and the potential of trafficking, because with the world’s “oldest profession” it will always exist somewhere right?
Remember years ago when they busted one of these places around a similar area and Radnor ? Also note, that a couple of women were found guilty recently of human trafficking out of massage parlors in central PA.
See below for things discovered online. (Including old article links from similar places which were busted years ago.) This is now Rising Sun but was Joanna? Seems to be same people/contact different businessnames?
Is it pizza, WaWa and a tuggy next door in Paoli? Neat!

These places exist in all sorts of communities- Malvern too- along Route 30.
They have also existed further east on the Main Line. Years ago there was one that was notorious in Wynnewood – it was near the Whole Foods. Then it was gone. But then it looks like it popped up in Bryn Mawr (yes Bryn Mawr let that sink in) and it was busted?

And then there was the West Chester place which made the news cycles and a splash for being a brothel…

Of course when you put brothel and West Chester into Google you also get something I did not click on:

In the past there were similar issues in Caln:
There have been busts in King of Prussia as well, including this splashy bust a few years ago :

There is actually a Chester County anti- human trafficking group?

Oh and then there is this link:

What in the Sam Hell is that place? These places again are everywhere…even in communities which would deny, deny, deny. They pop up, get caught, perhaps change their names and location, or just their name and they are up and running again.
They are often more of a cash business, so like nail salons absentee landlords love these tenants at times especially when they can’t rent spots, don’t they?
To say this was a post against sex workers would be too simplistic. The problem is the potential for underage girls being exploited and the potential for human trafficking isn’t it?
I, a female, mistakenly went in there. It is indeed, as my (male) friend said “a wishywashy’.
Yeah, and I’ve heard from other women the same thing because like they thought they could get facials I guess and stuff. What I don’t understand is why the police aren’t looking into it?
