SUSSEX, NB – The owner of a recently opened store in Sussex doesn’t understand why the town wants to shut her business down.

Crystal Henderson runs “Intimate Desires by Crystal” which carries products catering to couples and romance.

Henderson says the business is tasteful and her customers seem to think so too.

“You walk in, it’s very vintage, very elegant, very classy.  There’s nothing distasteful about it at all. And everything else that they are considering adult entertainment… that they (the town) is considering it as… is at the back of the store,” notes Henderson.

Town officials say the store is adult entertainment and violates the municipal plan.

Meantime, Henderson says more than 200 customers have already signed a petition to keep the store open.
