I am not a Hooters patron, and I heard they have financial problems.
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.

Do some more research. Read some of the other threads on this.

I am a huge supporter of DEI programs. The Village's Hooters should only hire Village's residents!

Let's see how that turns out! or is it falls out?

Hooters would do that if the owners had a death wish.

Default Hooter has good wings?

Glad to hear Hooters has good wings - I'm more of a breast man, so I guess there's no need to go to Hooters. Guess I'll go to KFC.

Let’s see… How can I word it so you might understand….

Hooters is not my thing. Well not since the 90s anyway.

I was wishing good luck to the new location as well wishers tend to do.

And I hoped that the patrons enjoy their visits there.

Good bet the new Hooter's will put your well wishes on their wall of Fame.

The new Hooters has been running a soft opening for the past few days. Just show up, get seated, and get one free drink with free appetizer for the table. The parking lot has been packed.

I have a friend that was a pilot for Hooters Airlines for a few years. He said it was a fun job.
