It offers the latest in sports viewing technology, including a giant, 15.75-foot 4K LED video wall, more than 100 hi-def TVs; free high-speed Wi-Fi access and charging stations throughout.

"You're always connected to your teams, friends, and more," said David Simmons, Director of Restaurant Operations. "We want Bombshells to be the ultimate experience for casual dining, sports viewing, music, food and fun."

Veterans and active service members of the U.S. Armed Forces receive a 20% discount on meals and soft drinks. Bombshells is community friendly and involved, often supporting local children's sports teams.

The Bombshells concept was originated by Travis Reese, EVP of parent RCI, whose grandfather piloted more than 100 missions in the Berlin Airlift following World War II. Travis envisioned a place reflecting a respect for the military and veterans past and present. Bombshells Girls waitresses bring to life timeless WW II era pin-up girls from calendars, posters and paintings on military aircraft.

Bombshells was named to Restaurant Business magazine's "The Future 50" list of fastest-growing concepts. For more information, visit www.4bombshells.com.
