The adult industry is a multi-billion dollar market, rapidly expanding to accommodate the needs and desires of more women and couples seeking to explore erotica in a safe, comfortable, and friendly environment. Adam & Eve offers committed entrepreneurs a unique opportunity to take advantage of this profitable market segment and gain more control over their financial futures.
Overview
The history of Adam & Eve is nothing short of amazing. Our birth goes back four decades, when a Harvard graduate and Peace Corps veteran name Phil Harvey, along with partner Dr. Timothy Black. Phil combined his natural business savvy with expertise gained from earning a Master's degree in Public Health Administration from the University of North Carolina. Encouraged by the public's positive response, Phil explored ways to provide American adults with carefully selected material by mail. Thus, the birth of our parent company, Adam & Eve. The natural progression for the company was to begin to open retail locations throughout the United States. Through franchising, we have been able to provide communities with an upscale specialty boutique that has served discerning couples, women and men for nearly 10 years
