Petroleum Club of Wichita

What Petroleum Club of Wichita does

The Petroleum Club of Wichita, doing business as The Ninth Floor Club + Venue, is a private membership club occupying the ninth floor of 100 North Broadway in downtown Wichita, Kansas. The club operates from a single venue with panoramic skyline views and is structured around three branded experiential spaces: The Petroleum Room (fine dining), Cloud 9 Cigar Bar & Lounge (positioned as Wichita's only skyline cigar lounge), and the Sky Light Room (private dining and events). The business serves individual members, families, corporate clients, and event hosts through a hybrid model combining recurring membership dues, à la carte food and beverage sales, and one-time event venue rentals for weddings, private celebrations, and corporate meetings.

The revenue model blends subscription (membership fees, billed annually), transaction-based (food and beverage sales to members and Member-for-a-Day guests), and one-time licensing (event venue rental) streams. GTM is sales-led, leveraging a 'Member for a Day' trial experience to convert prospects into full members, supported by organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, X) and a content-driven website. Members also receive reciprocal access to a small network of partner clubs including Alta Club (Salt Lake City), The Summit (Tulsa), and Missouri Athletic Club (St. Louis).

The company employs 12 people and operates with no disclosed proprietary technology, no app, and no external integrations. The club also operates the Ninth Floor Foundation, a philanthropic initiative tied to the brand. Ownership structure, revenue, and founding date are not disclosed in available source material.
