RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. reported a 4.0% increase in total club and sports bar sales for the fiscal 2026 third quarter ended June 30, 2026. The growth was primarily driven by the performance of its Bombshells segment and contributions from nightclubs. Sales figures exclude non-core operations and are subject to final closing.
Travis Reese, Interim President and CEO of RCI, attributed the sales increase to an outstanding performance from Bombshells. This growth benefited from the opening of two new Texas locations in Rowlett and Lubbock, as well as increased sales at seven of its nine same-store locations. Same-store sales for Bombshells rose 4.7%.
Nightclubs also contributed to the total sales increase, largely reflecting benefits from high-interest professional basketball and soccer games. Management believes this strong sports lineup helped offset softness earlier in 3Q26 caused by geopolitical uncertainties affecting discretionary spending.
