Like it or not, adult videos and sexual aids are a multi-billion dollar business. And while many who purchase these items are more than happy to do so over the internet, some still like the immediate satisfaction of picking up their x-rated goods at the local adult emporium. One such store in Alabama has found a way to make those customers happy without them ever having to leave their cars.

The owners of the Huntsville, AL, store recently opened up shop inside a former bank and decided to take advantage of the existing drive-thru window.

From the AP:

Business is brisk so far, with cars sometimes lining up three deep for vibrators, lubricants, lingerie and other risque items…

Just like at a fast-food restaurant, there’s a brightly lit sign outside with products and prices — herbal “enhancement pills” are $8 per dose…

[T]he woman in one car wanted a rubber toy that spins and pulses. A couple in another vehicle stopped by for free condoms, which are advertised on a sign visible from University Drive, a main drag through town.

Is this an idea that more adult-oriented businesses should look into? And what other retail businesses would benefit from the drive-thru treatment?
