HOUSTON, July 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- RCI
Hospitality Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RICK) announced the "soft
opening" yesterday of a new military themed Bombshells Restaurant
& Bar at 14191 Northwest Freeway at the Fairbanks N. Houston
Road exit of US 290 in Northwest
Houston. Hours are 11 AM to 2
AM daily.
Grand opening will be announced soon. Visit www.4bombshells.com
or call (281) 845-6411.
"This is our fifth Bombshells in Texas and the third in Houston," said Eric
Langan, President and CEO of RCI, which was founded and
continues to be based in the city. "We have broken ground on a
sixth location, picked out a property for our seventh, and plan to
develop three more in 2018-2019."
For the new sports bar/restaurant, an RCI subsidiary constructed
a 7,900 square-foot building and a 3,500 square-foot patio. Able to
seat up to 400, this Bombshells was also designed as a prototype as
part of the chain's national franchise marketing effort. Individual
Bombshells typically employ more than 100 people.
With its military theme, Bombshells Girls in uniform, and a fun,
energetic environment, which includes more than 100 HDTVs for
sports, DJs, full bars with premium brands and craft brews, an
extensive menu and scratch kitchen, Bombshells units attract a
diverse demographic of men and women, from millennials to seniors,
and from singles and couples to families with children.
"As a result, Bombshells has become known for its 'social
dining' experience," said David
Simmons, Director of Restaurant Operations. "Unlike other
chains, we encourage guests to stay, enjoy and hang out. There's
always something going on."
Mr. Simmons said the new location has high visibility and good
highway access. "Few bars or restaurants in the area are open after
9 PM, and the demographics are
similar to our top producing locations in Houston."
Other features include:
- Streamlined kitchen to further improve efficiency and guest
satisfaction
- Advanced media technology to better capture a stadium-like
audio-visual experience
- State of the art environmental controls that enable managers to
adjust heating, air conditioning, sound, music, and every TV from
the touch of an iPad
As part of the chain's ongoing efforts to support active and
veteran military members, Bombshells offers them a 20% discount.
Bombshells Girl iPad ordering screens now enable donations to Folds
of Honor scholarships for children and spouses of fallen/disabled
service members.
"We appreciate the positive response we've received in our home
town," Mr. Simmons said. "Bombshells is dedicated to providing
greater value to our guests, being community friendly as well as
community involved. People in Houston have responded to that, encouraging us
to open more units."
