BG Locations and closures
New regulations were put in place in BG as of January 2026. The two main points are that workers are not allowed to live in the stores and workers are required to have KY massage licenses, not the typical out of state licenses used by the workers. These licenses are required to get the permit from the city to operate the store.
City officials went through the locations in BG recently. Both JM and HK were closed because the workers lived at the stores. They are not necessarily condemned but were informed, closed and fined because the conditions are not suitable for people to be living at the stores and it is against the new regulations.
Q is also closed because the owner does not have the proper license to get the city permit.
New Asian Bodywork is still open for unknown reasons.
As a side note, the regulations were created by the owner of the BG massagefix franchise and pushed with the city officials to get them in place. Effectively eliminating her perceived competition in town. She is against any store with workers that are not properly trained, accredited, licensed, gone to school, paid the money, (gone through the same process as her) etc, etc, etc.
