HOUSTON, Jan. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time
for pro football's big game, Bombshells Restaurant & Bar
announced "Opening Day" on Thursday, January
30, in southwest Houston,
completing the chain's three-year plan to build brand awareness
with eight strategic locations in and around the city.
The new Bombshells at 6888 Southwest Freeway (US Highway 59) is
a subsidiary of locally based RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc.
(Nasdaq: RICK). The location features the latest in technology,
including a giant, 15.75-foot 4K LED
video wall–one of the first in Houston—for sports viewing, as well
as free high-speed Wi-Fi access, and plenty of charging stations
throughout.
"At Bombshells 59, you're always connected to your teams,
friends, and more," said David
Simmons, Director of Restaurant Operations. "We want it to
be the ultimate experience in southwest Houston for social dining, sports viewing,
music, food and fun."
Military-themed Bombshells is a next-generation sports bar,
appealing to social diners – a wide multi-generational,
multi-cultural audience, from millennials to boomers on up,
interested in sports and going out with friends, families, or on
dates.
With an extensive menu, scratch kitchen, full bars, premium
brands, and a wide variety of beers, the restaurants are open
11AM to 2AM for lunch, happy hour,
dinner and late night. Guests are encouraged to stay and hang
out.
Locations resemble aircraft hangars, filled with military
memorabilia, such as fighter wings over the bar. Bombshells 59
features approximately 8,200 square feet inside; 2,400 square feet
outside on the patio; more than 100 hi-def TVs; seating in excess
of 400; and abundant parking.
Veterans and active service members of the U.S. Armed Forces
receive free meals and soft drinks on Veterans Day and a 20%
discount all other days. Bombshells is community friendly and
community involved, often supporting local children's sports
teams.
Other Houston area locations
are on Gulf Freeway, Highway 290, I-10 East, I-45 North in
Spring, South Freeway in
Pearland, Katy Freeway in
Katy, and Highway 249 in
Tomball. Two other locations are
in Dallas and Austin.
The concept was originated by Travis
Reese, EVP of parent RCI, whose grandfather piloted more
than 100 missions in the Berlin Airlift following World War II.
Travis envisioned a place reflecting a respect for military and
veterans past and present. Bombshells Girls waitresses bring to
life timeless WW II era pin-up girls from calendars, posters and
paintings on military aircraft.
Bombshells was named to Restaurant Business magazine's
"The Future 50" list of fastest-growing concepts with annualized
sales between $25 million and
$50 million. For more information,
