FLORIDA MAN FINED FOR OPERATING A FULLY LICENSED BARBERSHOP OUT OF A STORAGE UNIT FOR THREE YEARS -- CITY CONFIRMS THE HAIRCUTS WERE EXCELLENT AND THAT IS NOT THE POINT Tampa, FL -- Hillsborough County code enforcement cited Mitchell Greer, 47, Thursday after discovering he had converted Unit 114 at SecureLock Self Storage on Dale Mabry Highway into a fully operational barbershop that had been serving clients since 2021 without a single commercial zoning permit. Greer, who holds a valid Florida cosmetology license, had installed a barber chair, a wall-length mirror, recessed lighting, a mini-split AC unit, a Bluetooth speaker system, and a small waiting area with three chairs and a magazine rack. The unit had its own Google Maps listing, a five-star rating across sixty-one reviews, and a six-week appointment backlog. Google listing described the location as "intimate, focused, and worth finding" Eleven reviews specifically mentioned the AC as a selling point Greer had painted the roll-up door navy blue and added a small illuminated sign Monthly rent on the unit was $190, which he described as "the best commercial real estate deal in Tampa" Had grossed an estimated $67,000 across three years of operation Told Inspector Dale Polk the storage facility had never complained Confirmed the storage facility had not been informed it was a barbershop Inspector Polk noted the unit was better appointed than two licensed shops he had inspected the same week. "The license was real," he said. "The address was the problem." The sixty-one reviewers were not notified. The six-week waitlist was. He built a perfect barbershop inside a storage unit and the only thing wrong was the address. The five stars remain posted. #funny #comedy #fblifestyle #satire #FORENTERTAINMENTONLY
