Profile

RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc.RICKConsumer Discretionary

Runs adult-entertainment nightclubs as its core segment and Bombshells as a smaller sports-bar and restaurant concept. Revenue is concentrated in Nightclubs, with operations spread across multiple US states and shaped by alcohol, adult-entertainment, tax, and financial-reporting controls.

Runs two reportable operating lines: Nightclubs, a portfolio of adult-entertainment club brands, and Bombshells, a military-themed sports-bar and restaurant concept. Other activities include industry media, events, and a licensed energy-drink business.

Most revenue comes from Nightclubs, where alcohol sales, cover charges, membership and facility-use fees, food, merchandise, and venue services combine across a multi-state US footprint. Owned real estate is central because location control matters for regulated venues.

Recent execution has focused on improving existing clubs and restaurants, adding selected club acquisitions, and pruning Bombshells locations. The business depends on alcoholic-beverage permits, sexually oriented business rules, entertainer-classification practices, tax proceedings, and financial-reporting controls.
