Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. Reports December Nightclub Sales Exceed $5 Million, Up 98.7 Percent Over Previous Year


HOUSTON-(January 8, 2008)-Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. [NASDAQ-GM:RICK], operator of upscale gentlemen's clubs, today reported sales of $5,035,367 at its 15 nightclubs for December 2007, a 98.7 percent increase over the previous year‚s total of $2,534,659.

The strong growth was largely attributable to the acquisition of Tootsie's Cabaret in Miami Gardens, FL, where sales exceeded the revenues anticipated when the company bought the club.

Same club sales were $2,684,124, up 5.9 percent over the December 2006 period, driven by continued strong growth at Rick's Cabaret in New York City, Club Onyx in Charlotte, NC, and several other clubs.

"We are highly pleased with the performance of Tootsie's in our first month of ownership," said Eric Langan, President and CEO of the company. "The contribution from our newest addition was even stronger than we had anticipated."

The December sales bring nightclub revenues for the company's first quarter to $10,774,293, a 57.8 percent increase over the $6,829,350 registered in the first quarter of 2006.
