Party Starting April 1st
April 01, 2010 09:03 AM Eastern Daylight Time
AUSTIN, Texas--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Club Onyx will open Thursday, April 1st as the first and only
upscale urban gentlemen's club in the capital city. The club at 8110 Springdale Road is a part of the Rick's Cabaret
International, Inc. (NASDAQ: RICK) chain of upscale adult clubs and until last year operated under the Rick's
Cabaret brand.
The Austin location is the fifth Club Onyx, which are popular among athletes, musicians and African-American
professionals and businessmen. The other clubs are located in Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas and Charlotte.
"We took a long and careful look at the Austin market and determined that an upscale urban club would be ideal
here," said Ed Anakar, Director of Operations of Rick's Cabaret and originator of the Club Onyx concept five
years ago in Houston. "This format has proven to be a winner in each of the markets where we've launched. We do
particularly well in big sports towns, and this is one reason we chose to open during the very popular Texas Relays
weekend in Austin, which draws thousands of fans into the city who are always up for a good time."
The Grand Opening Party on Thursday, April 1st will feature a special appearance by the famed adult actress
Pinky, who has starred in films such as "It'z a Black Thang" and "Miss Phat Booty."
Club Onyx Austin will be open Thursday through Sunday evenings starting at 7 p.m. It will stay open until 5 a.m. on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, and until 2 a.m. on Sundays.
