HOUSTON -(January 8, 2007)
- Rick's Cabaret International,
Inc. [NASDAQ:RICK],
the
national chain of gentlemen's clubs, will launch a Club Oynx in
South Houston near Hobby Airport on Thursday. It is the company's
fourth Club Oynx, upscale nightclubs featuring
topless entertainers and catering to African-American businessmen
and professionals.
The newest Club Onyx will open at the site of what had been operating
as a Rick's Cabaret & Sports Bar. The club at 9009 Airport
Blvd will launch January 11th with a three-day grand opening
party featuring music selections by top Houston DJs and appearances
by the Onyx VIP Girls, an elite team of topless entertainers.
"The Club Onyx brand has become exceptionally strong in each
of the markets we have entered and we believe this location in the
south of Houston will generate the same customer enthusiasm and
loyalty," according to Eric Langan, President
and CEO of Rick's Cabaret.
"The original Club Onyx near the Galleria is a favorite entertainment
spot for Houston's businessmen, professional athletes and travelers,"
said Ed Anakar, director of operations. "Everyone
loves the high energy and ambiance at Club Onyx, and of course our
beautiful and friendly entertainers. Plus, you never know what celebrities
you’re going to meet there."
The company's first Club Onyx was opened in 2004 and became an immediate
success, attracting the patronage of Houston's professional athletes,
hip hop musicians and African-American business executives. In 2006
the company extended the brand to San Antonio and Charlotte.
