US-based RCI Hospitality Holdings has reported a 9.9% increase in total club and restaurant sales to $46.2m for the third quarter (3Q19) ending 30 June 2019.

Consolidated same-store sales were down by 1.4% to $39.1m compared to $39.6m for the corresponding period the prior year.

Total sales of its nightclubs brand increased 7.2% to $37.5m, compared to $34.9m the prior year while the same-store sales of the brand increased by 0.1% to $34.2m.

In addition, the company’s Bombshells brand reported a 23% increase in total sales to $8.8m, compared to $7.1m the prior year while same-store sales of the brand was down 10.6% to $4.9m.

RCI Hospitality president and CEO Eric Langan said: “New Nightclubs and Bombshells restaurants continued to perform very well in 3Q19, helping to generate record total club and restaurant sales.

“Looking at same-store sales, Nightclubs were slightly ahead year-over-year, which was particularly impressive given that it was on top of Q318’s 5.1% increase, while Bombshells continued to rebound, crossing over into positive year-over-year monthly comparisons in June 2019 for the first time in 12 months.
