Minnesota man aims to open juice bar in Nora Springs

pole barn theatreNORA SPRINGS, IOWA – A juicy situation is developing in the sleepy little town of Nora Springs – and city officials are preparing to act to prevent it from going too far.

A Minnesota man confirmed today that he is aiming to open what would be the area’s only “juice bar” – the Pole Barn Theatre. The business will be located at 14 North Hawkeye Avenue, the former location of Frosty Mugs bar.

Dale Peterson is from Clarkfield, Minnesota. “It’s just a little 4-hour drive away,” Mr. Peterson told NIT Thursday morning of his home. His plan is to open the Pole Barn Theatre right in downtown Nora Springs next week.

Mr. Peterson said today that he is working hard to get the business ready. Patrons will be able to see dancers in various stages of undress and can bring in beer or wine to sip on as they enjoy the show. He has a sign ready to go onto the front of the building, but it’s not installed yet.

“I’ll be there this weekend getting everything ready,” he said.  A 7 PM opening is scheduled for Friday night next week.  Patrons must be 18 years old to enter and 21 years old to drink.

Meanwhile, NIT phoned Deborah Gaul, City Administrator of Nora Springs. Ms. Gaul didn’t seem too thrilled to discuss the situation, but confirmed to NIT that tonight, a city zoning meeting will be held and adult businesses will be on the agenda.

“I can confirm that adult businesses will be discussed,” by city officials at that meeting, she said.

“No one has come in, no one has seen the place you are referring to,” she continued in a stern tone, as she was pressed to comment on the new juice bar coming to town.

Sources tell NIT the city will be moving to block the opening of the Pole Barn Theatre.

“That’s what everyone was saying last night,” a Nora Springs source told NIT Thursday morning. Mr. Peterson is trying to open up soon, “trying to beat the city from shutting them down.”

Mr. Peterson was surprised to hear that a zoning meeting was planned for this evening but said he was going ahead with plans to open.
