HOUSTON, Texas—October 30, 2014—The Bombshells invasion of fast-growing Houston continues. RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. (NasdaqGM: RICK) announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary will open the newest military-themed Bombshells sports bar/restaurant in the Houston area on Monday, November 3rd.

The highly visible Bombshells, with 8,000 square feet in the bar/restaurant area, in addition to 3,000 square feet in the patio area, is located at 12810 Gulf Freeway (near Fuqua Street), Houston, TX, 77034, (281) 922-6289.

This is the third Bombshells in the Houston area and the fifth in Texas. Other Bombshells are located in Dallas and Austin. The next Bombshells is planned for the Willowbrook area of Northwest Houston on Highway 249. Management is presently focused on identifying three more locations.

“Having three and soon four Bombshells in the Houston area along major highways is giving us critical mass in terms of exposure and awareness,” said David Simmons, Director of Operations of RCI’s Restaurant Division. “People already know Bombshells before a new location opens. This allows for very successful openings, a solid increase in average unit sales and the ability to capitalize on marketing opportunities.”

Bombshells combines multiple restaurant/entertainment concepts in one location, targeting the millennial generation with great food, live music and a fun environment. “Bombshells is completely different from other themed restaurants,” said Mr. Simmons. “Once you arrive, you immediately feel the concept, the attention to detail and the military influence.”
