US coffee shop causes a stir with bikini wearing waitresses

Melbourne, Aug 10 (ANI): A coffee shop in the US is said to be causing quite a stir, after it employed waitresses wearing only bikinis in a bid to entice customers.

The Bikini Espresso cafe, a drive-through shop in Torrance, Los Angeles, has seen many men flocking to it ever since it opened last week.

"We're offering entertainment, coffee with a tease, if you will," News.com.au quoted the store's managing partner Gary Gillett as telling the UK's Daily Mail.

The building showcases a mural featuring a blonde in a pink bikini in a coffee cup, accompanied by the words "Bikini Espress-Oh".

On the opening day, bikini-clad women danced and gyrated on the street to bring attention to the shop.

"I used to come to the old shop. I used to come because it's close. I may come for a different reason now," one customer told the Daily Breeze.

But not all customers are pleased, and the shop has received several angry phone calls since its opening.

Gillett, on the other hand, is already planning to expand his business by open more stores in the UK, France, Moscow, and Madrid. (ANI)
