Dockside Dolls was a North Carolina-based chain of strip clubs located in industrial zones. It was co-owned by Winston Hines, Jerry Golding, and Jerry Reid.

Clayton, North Carolina

The Clayton, North Carolina Crazy Horse was once the location of a Dockside Dolls. In 1999, a man confronted by the club's security guards shot and killed another customer.

Graham, North Carolina

The Graham, North Carolina Dockside Dolls opened in 1993. In 1994, six police officers, who moonlighted as security guards at the club, were suspended for three days after photos of them posing with topless dancers emerged. On January 2, 2004, 45-year-old bouncer David Norman Collins was fatally shot outside the club after, according to witnesses, escorting the suspects in his murder out of the club over an altercation. Due to crimes, such as assaults, brawls, drug overdoses, and underage drinking, allegedly occurring at the club since 1996, a year-long investigation was conducted, resulting in a civil nuisance suit and raid on September 3, 2004. The investigation also led to the arrests of four dancers for offering undercover cops sex and drugs in exchange for money during a bachelor party at a nearby motel on August 31, 2004. A court motion filed on January 27, 2005 alleged that dancers had continued to solicit prostitution during visits from undercover cops, violating a restraining order that prohibited the club from allowing criminal activity. In February 2006, the club was permanently closed in exchange for avoiding trial.
