Can somebody confirm if Villagers can redeem their 15% off ‘just for being old’ discount at Hooters!

Maybe they will have a blue pill special instead of the Blue plate special. For you old guys.

Given that last month they announced they were closing or have closed Florida locations in Gainesville, Lakeland, Orange Park and West Palm Beach and 40 others nationwide, this doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense.

They know their business model better than we do.

Will be interesting to see how they fare here. Back West, Hooters seemed to have peaked in the late 90s/early 00s, and have steadily declined in the marketplace since. In Colorado, most locations closed down in the last 10 years. They must see a chance for success in TV. Time will tell.

There are people who say Hooters has very good chicken wings. I've always thought these are the same people who say they buy Playboy for the articles.

The people who make comments like this are some of the people who have never tried the Hooters chicken wings.

We often go to Hooters just for the breaded wings and curly fries.

Never had the need or want to go there. Now that I’m older ZERO chance going there.

I've only been to Hooters when my kid was in youth hockey and the team went there for tournaments (none were close by me at that time) and then later one did open near me and I went a few times alone after my divorce.

I will say the servers were always nice, I had good service and I really like the wings, breaded or naked wings were good. Beer was good and cold. Honestly the women weren't all that scantily clad (skin colored leggings). Hell the only thing keeping me away is the reputation of being a place for the boobs. I think they are better than BWW.
