Rick's Cabaret International, inc. targets Webster, TX to open second ‘Bombshells' Restaurant & Sports Bar

HOUSTON – (September 4, 2013) – Rick’s Cabaret International, Inc. (NasdaqGM:RICK), the publicly traded hospitality company that owns over 40 gentlemen’s clubs and restaurant venues nationwide, said today it will open its second ‘Bombshells’ restaurant/sports bar.  The company expects to open the new venue in early 2014 in Webster, TX, just south of Houston.

Eric Langan, president and CEO of Rick’s Cabaret, said a subsidiary of the company has signed a long-term lease for a restaurant property on East NASA Parkway, a short distance from the Johnson Space Center of Houston.  The new location will feature a first class restaurant/bar and live entertainment on the outdoor patio. The military- themed ‘Bombshells’ will feature sexy wait staff and great music 11 am to 2 am seven days a week.

“Our initial ‘Bombshells’ restaurant in Dallas has proven to be a terrific success, attracting a base that ranges from young adults and families who like the ambiance, the energy and the great hospitality, as well as sports fans who love to watch their favorite teams on over 70 large TVs,” Mr. Langan said. “In addition to the Webster location, we are considering other potential sites and will announce them as they materialize.”
