HOUSTON, March 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time for
some of the biggest games in college basketball, Bombshells Restaurant & Bar announced the opening on Wednesday, March 27, of a new location just north of Houston in Tomball at 24628 State Highway 249, next to the giant Regal Lone Star Cinemas 19. Bombshells is a subsidiary
of locally based RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RICK).
"We want Bombshells to be the ultimate experience in Tomball for social dining, sports
viewing, music, food and fun for all ages," said David Simmons, Director of Restaurant
Operations.
Military-themed Bombshells is a next-generation sports bar, appealing to social diners – a wide multi-generational,
multi-cultural audience, from millennials to baby boomers on up, interested in going out with friends, families or on dates.
Bombshells features an extensive menu and scratch kitchen, and full bars with premium brands and craft brews. The restaurants
are open 11AM to 2AM for lunch, happy hour, dinner and late night. Guests are encouraged to stay
and hang out.
Outside, locations resemble aircraft hangars. Inside, they are filled with military memorabilia, such as aircraft wings over
the bar. Bombshells 249 features about 8,200 square feet inside; about 2,400 square feet outside on the patio; more than 100
hi-def TVs; multiple USB charging stations; fast and free Wi-Fi; seating in excess of 400; and abundant parking.
Veterans and active service members of the U.S. Armed Forces receive a 20% discount on meals and soft drinks every day and eat
for free on Veteran's Day. Bombshells is community friendly and community involved, often supporting local children's sports
teams.
Bombshells 249 is part of a plan to expand the chain's profile in the Houston area. The
fourth and fifth area locations opened in Pearland and on I-10 East in 2018. The seventh and
eighth are expected to open later this spring on the Katy Freeway in Katy and on US 59 in
southwest Houston. Two existing locations are in Dallas and
Austin.
The concept was originated by Travis Reese, EVP of parent RCI. His grandfather piloted more
than 100 missions in the Berlin Airlift following World War II. A pilot himself, 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 2018 "The Future 50" list of fastest-growing concepts in the
country with annualized sales between $25 million and $50 million.
