US-based RCI Hospitality Holdings has reported total revenues of $47m for the third quarter (Q3) 2019 period ending 30 June 2019, an increase from $42.6m for the same period last year.
The growth reflected a 10.8% increase in alcoholic beverages, 6% in service, 14.1% in food and 25.2% in other services. The company noted that the revenues increased mainly due to the addition of Rick’s Cabarets in Chicago and Pittsburgh in Nightclubs and two new Bombshells (I-10 and 249).

By GlobalData“Nightclubs revenues benefitted from our solid club line-up and Bombshells from the strong performance of new locations. In July, Bombshells same-store sales were up year-over-year for the second month in a row.
“We continued to achieve progress with part of our Bombshells development strategy through the sale of a second excess parcel for a gain of more than 40% of cost. We also continued the liquidation of other non-income producing assets.
“During and subsequent to the quarter, this resulted in cash proceeds of $2.5m and the pay down of $2.2m in related debt. We hope to conclude the sale or lease of remaining non-income-producing properties by year-end FY19 or early FY20.”
