Another sub par eatery in The Villages

Zero issues with Hooters, but what this area really needs is a Wendy's, a Chick Fil A, even a Taco Bell. We have no fast food choices south of 44 except a McDonalds which I do have a problem with (food's horrible).

Why wouldn't they ? Is there something different about this particular Hooter's vs the others in the franchise ?
Will they have males with tight pants and cute butts? Nope?

A trifecta

This is what I found on the internet:

"Hooters filed for bankruptcy to address $376 million in debt and plans to sell over 100 corporate-owned locations to franchisees. The company is also closing some underperforming locations. Despite these changes, Hooters intends to remain a viable business and is focusing on a pure franchise model."

This is not a good sign, if it was me, I would not be in a rush to open a Hooters.
There are 3 different companies involved and the original guys that opened Hooters are the ones buying it back from the company that is filing bankruptcy. They are also the ones opening the new locations. Banks don't know how to run a restaurant and that's the same reason that Red Lobster went into bankruptcy. They strip the meat off companies and leave the mostly dead carcass to pay creditors pennies on the dollar. I'm glad the original guys care enough to revive Hooters.

If you mean “upscale” it probably won’t last due to bad reviews it will get because of the quality/quantity of the food vs. the high prices of the food.

Well, it’s good to know that you won’t be there. Or, will you?

Then why did you buy there? Surely you knew what was there.

Technically there is a Chipotle on the south side of 44 in front of Spar :evil6:

It sounds like fast food is beneath many poster's here.

That will never happen. They tried it and Villagers will only complain about the prices. Welcome to the land of mediocrity.
