“Nightclubs segment sales rose 2.7% on a same store basis and 2.0% on a total basis. Results reflected continued strong performances from our three units in Minneapolis even after the professional football season ended, as well as noticeable increases at Club Onyx Houston, with the Super Bowl being played in that city, and at premier clubs Tootsie’s Cabaret Miami and Vivid Cabaret New York.
“Bombshells segment sales grew 3.2% on a same store basis. Customers continue to be attracted to our military themed social dining concept with our Bombshells Girls, where you can have a great time and great food, watch the game and listen to music, and hang out with friends or family.”
