In homage to the restaurant, locals are gathering one last time for chicken wings and iconic Strip Cheese Sandwiches by candlelight. Michelle Del Rey reports
Yeah, but a lot of chain restaurants from the time have also done poorly as well. It seems more like that era of restaurant was never capable of serving good food and couldn’t compete in the modern marketplace.
Maybe the chain was built on that, but my local Hooters was amazing when I was in highschool. My friends and I would go there exclusively for the 12-15 dollar all you can eat wings on Wednesdays. They were amazing.
I liked the wings. And the sauces. And they had a good fish sandwich. Decent Cobb salad too. there was nothing sexy about the women at the location I went to. The quality did take a turn around 2010 though.
They weren’t even that skimpy, went there with my fiance like half a year ago and it was just regular tank tops and short shorts that still covered everything as their uniform. Nothing crazy.
I went to a sports cantina called Ojos Locos in Socal and that’s what I always imagined hooters to be. Google some pics, it’s sorta hard to tell but the waitresses literally wear what’s called cheeky underwear as their uniform combined with a skirt that literally doesn’t cover anything. At the risk of sounding like a pig some of those waitresses might as well have been wearing thongs because of how thick they were.
Did hooters just used to be skimpier or was it just that prude back in the day?
Seriously, Hooters shit the bed when they didnt see the turndown and decline in business over the sexist nature of their branding.
They could have simply changed the name to not be wordplay about breasts and they probably would have been fine.
Most of their food including the wings were just cheap generic garbage.
The chain was built on “sex sells” not food.
I would say that the Sheetz gas station that’s going to replace this Hooters would be a step up food quality wise.

Adapt or die. It’s happened with Mexican chains also. ChiChis, Don Pablo, all gone.
I never said dont have attractive waitresses in tight clothes who are really flirty, just maybe dont have the whole theme of the restaraunt be “Tits”
Theres tons of really average chain restaraunts doing fine with really average food.
I mean besides the outfits isn’t that every sports bar. Young good looking women serving in low cut tops.

They should replace it with a themed restaurant called “Boobies” decorated with seabirds.
They can show superb owl on the tv.
All the wait staff must wear blue shoes
Red shoes are also acceptable.
Their house special is an ice-cooled hot dog and that dish is called cock-on-the-rocks.
