Kamloops sex doll startup put on hold, moved to Alberta
KAMLOOPS — Kamloops’ first sex doll rental business didn’t last long, having come and gone in just a few months, but it piqued the curiosity of a number of residents.A fervour, both positive and negative, followed, with business owner Kristen Dickson doing numerous media interviews following the launch of her business’s website, which crashed multiple times from an overload of traffic.
Catching up with Kamloops This Week in recent days, Dickson described her short time in business in Kamloops as “amazing.”Dickson said she was making about 15 deliveries a month, describing her Kamloops clientele as 70 per cent male and 30 per cent couples. “People were very respectful,” she said, adding she was surprised at the amount of support she received for the endeavour when she first opened, as she anticipated more criticism.Dickson had considered franchising her business, but abandoned those plans as there was more curiosity than commitment. At that point, she said, it was an overwhelming prospect.
Dickson’s business licence from city hall in Kamloops was deemed an adult novelty item rental agency.
