HOUSTON, Jan. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RICK) reported club and restaurant sales for the fiscal first quarter ended December 31, 2024. Sales do not include non-core operations and are subject to final closing. Full 1Q25 financial results are expected to be reported by February 10, 2025.

Eric Langan, President & CEO of RCI, commented: "We're pleased to report that Nightclubs same-store sales increased year-over-year for the third quarter in a row.
