Missouri- An owner of an adult video store chain said Friday that a dispute with the city of Fairview Heights had ended.

He said he expected a store to open here next week if the City Council approves a settlement drafted by lawyers.

The council is expected to meet Tuesday about the Pure Pleasure Adult Megacenter at 515 Lincoln Highway. City officials said they had not yet been told the terms of any proposed settlement.

In March, the council enacted an adult ordinance that officials believed barred Pure Pleasure from opening. Then a city attorney sought a court injunction to keep it from opening.

The video store’s owners had chosen a site in a strip mall next to a dance studio that caters to children. The owners said they never intended to open until the studio left.

They expect to expand into the vacant space after the Midwest Dance Academy relocates, expected by Tuesday.

“It looked a little weird to people, us being located next to a dance school,” one of the owners, Florida resident Don Kleinhans, said in an interview Friday.

Kleinhans said lawyers had reached a tentative agreement Thursday.

“It will probably be open one day next week,” Kleinhans said. He said the agreement required the store to have a modest sign that reads simply “Pure Pleasure,” and required windows that are frosted to obscure the interior.

City Administrator Don Greer pointed out that there won’t be an official settlement of the matter unless the council approves it.

The Pure Pleasure chain has three other stores around the St. Louis area that opened to varying degrees of controversy. Kleinhans hinted that another store is in the works in the Metro East area. He declined to say where, other than it will not be in St. Clair County.
