Harry Mohney (born May 30, 1943) is the founder of Déjà Vu, a U.S. company which (as of 2006) owns about 132 strip clubs in 36 U.S. states, as well as multiple clubs abroad.

Déjà Vu

Déjà Vu is headquartered in Lansing, Michigan; it was founded and is controlled by Harry Mohney, who partners with Roger Forbes and who opened his first Déjà Vu strip club in Seattle in 1987. At the time, his main business was the large-scale distribution of pornography.

The gentleman clubs are called "Déjà Vu Showgirls", "Little Darlings" or "Dream Girls" or (by agreement with Mohney's long-time friends Jimmy Flynt and Larry Flynt who are not involved in the management of the clubs) "Larry Flynt's Hustler Club" and "Hustler Barely Legal". Déjà Vu also owns most of the adult theatres and clubs in San Francisco, but these however carry different names.[1]
