Northern Kentucky disco bathrooms bring laughter to the lavatory

In northern Kentucky, gas stations known as HOP Shops have become unlikely tourist destinations—not for their fuel or snacks, but for their disco-themed bathrooms. Each restroom features a big red button labeled “DO NOT PUSH,” accompanied by a winking cartoon frog mascot. When customers inevitably press it, the main lights dim, mirrored disco balls spin, and colorful spotlights flash as a disco classic blares through speakers. Songs vary by location—“I’ve Had the Time of My Life” plays in Walton, while “Dancing in the Dark” pumps at Florence. The result is a surprise dance party that sends most patrons laughing and filming videos for social media.

The idea came from Damon Bail, Vice President of Retail Marketing for Valor Oil, which owns HOP Shops. Inspired by a disco bathroom in Canada, he found a way to replicate the concept affordably, launching the first one in 2023. The bathrooms quickly went viral on TikTok and Facebook, and travelers now go out of their way to visit them. There are currently six HOP Shops with disco bathrooms across Kentucky and Ohio, and more are planned. Some fans have even turned it into a road trip activity—one woman celebrated her birthday by visiting all of them. As one manager put it, the disco bathrooms have become a business strategy that proves if you make people smile, they’ll stick around—and probably buy something after they dance.
