SAN
ANTONIO, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- RCI
Hospitality Holdings, Inc. of Houston (Nasdaq: RICK) is proud to announce
the opening of its first franchised Bombshells Restaurant & Bar
today in San Antonio, home to one
of the largest concentrations of military bases and one of the
largest active and retired military populations in the US.
Located at 8410 Texas Highway 151 near the interchange with
I-410, Bombshells San Antonio employs 250 people and is the rapidly
growing chain's 12th unit in Texas. Plans were recently announced for three
more company-owned units in the state – in Stafford, Rowlett, and Lubbock – and a franchise in Huntsville, AL.
"We want Bombshells to be the ultimate experience for casual
dining, sports viewing, music, food, and fun in San Antonio," said David Simmons, Director of Restaurant
Operations. "Everything about Bombshells is big, proud, and
community-friendly, with a great respect for our military, past and
present."
Bombshells are known for their bold red, white and blue
branding; aircraft hangar-like structures; military memorabilia;
20% discount on meals and soft drinks for veterans and active
members of the armed forces; and uniformed Bombshells Girls, who
bring to life timeless "pin-up" models from World War II military
aircraft "nose art".
The San Antonio location
features 9,000 square feet inside and 3,200 square feet outside on
the patio (surrounded by sandbags); in excess of 500 seating;
abundant parking; the latest in big screen sports viewing
technology with more than 100 hi-def TVs; free high-speed Wi-Fi;
and USB charging stations throughout.
Bombshells restaurants offer a scratch kitchen, full bar
(featuring an aircraft wing overhead), premium brands of spirits,
and a selection of 20 draft beers (flowing through a unique
"missile tap"). Locations are open 11 AM to
2 AM for lunch, happy hour, dinner, and a late night party
scene featuring live DJs. Guests are encouraged to stay and hang
out.
The extensive menu includes popular items such as Renegade Pasta
(penne tossed in Cajun-spiced Alfredo sauce); Double D's Burger (2x
the beef, cheese, and fries); Ike's 14-ounce rib eye steak; the Pin
Up Girl Salad; and giant desserts, such as Fried Cheesecake and
Bombshells Brownie.
The Bombshells concept was originated by Travis Reese, EVP of parent RCI, whose
grandfather piloted more than 100 missions in the Berlin Airlift
following WW II. The chain was named to Restaurant Business
magazine's "The Future 50" list of fastest-growing concepts. For
