WIN: Five shareholders dump strip clubs after our calls to divest

Posted on News by Lyn Kennedy · May 16, 2025 9:17 PM · 1 reaction

RCI Hospitality Holdings is a publicly listed strip club company (NASDAQ ticker symbol: RICK) connected to years of criminal activity including prostitution, murder, sexual assault and harassment of female performers by male customers, and human trafficking allegations. We object to the trade in women's bodies for men's sexual entertainment on the stock market. And we especially object to ownership of RICK shares by any investor claiming to be "faith based", "ethical" or dedicated to "responsible investment". We call them out when we find them.

Since the end of 2024, five more shareholders have dumped their strip club shares after we pressured them! Read more below.

Strip club owner linked to years of criminal activity, politicians

RCI Hospitality Holdings (RCIHH or Rick's) is a publicly listed strip club company (NASDAQ trade code: RICK) which trades explicitly on women’s bodies for men’s sexual entertainment. According to its website it owns 58 strip clubs (and 13 'Bombshells' restaurants) across 13 American states.

We were surprised to discover a Lutheran investment firm - Thrivent - was a long time shareholder in Rick's. We led a successful campaign calling on them to divest on account that strip club shares violated their responsible investment claims and commitments.

WIN! Thrivent divests from strip club shares

Posted on News by Coralie Alison · June 06, 2023 1:35 PM · 1 reaction

US-based investment firm Thrivent Financial for Lutherans has quietly sold off over one million dollars in shares in strip club company RCI Hospitality Holdings (RCIHH) after Collective Shout called on them to divest. 

We were surprised when we discovered Thrivent - a company with particular appeal to faith-based and ethically motivated investors - was propping up and profiting from the sale of women’s bodies as men’s sexual entertainment.

Over the weekend it was reported that Thrivent divested in all remaining shares for RCIHH. This is a massive victory for our movement!

It's time to come clean

When I first heard that Thrivent Financial for Lutherans reportedly owned shares in strip clubs I knew I had to call them out. This company, with particular appeal to faith-based and ethically motivated investors - was propping up and profiting from the sale of women’s bodies as men’s sexual entertainment.
