Seeking Alpha · 11 Aug 2026positive

RCI Hospitality's Bombshells segment posted 25.4% year-over-year revenue growth and 4.7% same-store sales growth in the third quarter, outperforming the Nightclubs segment, which grew 1% year-over-year while same-store sales fell 0.8% and contributing locations dropped to 56.
