HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. — The number of Adam & Eve franchise stores has doubled in the past two years. There currently are 27 Adam & Eve Stores in nine states that offer adult products from DVDs to lingerie items to toys.

“Adam & Eve started in 1969 as a condoms-by-mail service,” said Jason Hoke, general manager of Adam & Eve’s retail division. “From there, President Phil Harvey’s entrepreneurial spirit created the multi-million dollar adult empire that Adam & Eve is now known for. We are pleased to provide this unique franchising opportunity to similar visionaries today.”

The company current has agreements to open 70 more retail locations, with 12 openings planned for the second half of this year. Hoke is aiming for 50 new stores by the end of next year.

“Plenty of quality territories are available,” Hoke said. “Prime markets such as Los Angeles and New York City are still open for the right franchisee.”

The company’s latest store opening came in April in Tempe, Arizona.
