If you’re keeping score adult, is 19-50 in the courts this year.

Johns Creek, Georgia- A business owner who wants to open the nation’s largest adult video/novelty store in the newly-formed city of Johns Creek said he will reapply for his business license on Thursday.

John Cornetta, the owner of the chain of Love Shack stores, went to federal court Thursday morning to seek a temporary restraining order against Fulton County, which has refused to grant his license. A federal judge denied Cornetta’s request for the order which would have allowed him to open his store in a 10,000 square foot building he’s purchased at the intersection of Jones Bridge and State Bridge roads.

Cornetta, who is suing Fulton County over the matter, said he anticipated the judge’s denial and did not consider it a setback in his battle against the county, which claims the building does not have the correct zoning for an adult business store. Cornetta said he would only keep 25 percent of his inventory in adult products, which is in line with the county ordinance.

“I have a home in Johns Creek so I’ll open a store there just so someone can’y say he’s putting it in our backyard, not his. No, it is my backyard and I would rather have that than turn on a television set and watch a body blow up which I see all the time. I think that people making love is a much nicer thing,” Cornetta said after the federal court hearing.

Johns Creek will officially become a city in December and the city authorities said they believe Cornetta is trying to be grandfathered in before they come up with their own ordinances.

“I’ve been quoted recently as saying I no longer get to bring the pitch forks and the torches out but the citizens still have that right to some degree, figuratively not literally, but the bottom line is, sure, they’d like to run this business out on a rail,” said Mike Bodker, the mayor designate of Johns Creek.

Opponents argue that the building Cornetta owns is also too close to a children’s dance studio.
