Speaking as someone who designed Hooters restaurants in 2006 and 2007, Hooters has been on deathwatch for fifteen years. Hooters is a tacky restaurant with bad food. People who like tacky restaurants with bad food are dying off. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooters_Casino_Hotel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooters_Air Hooters Air Boeing 737 waiting on the ramp at Orlando International Airport Aside from its unorthodox neighborhood chain-restaurant tie-in, Hooters Air sought to differentiate itself from other carriers with a distinctive style of in-flight service. The carrier was marketed towards golfers in an effort to bring casual and tournament players to Myrtle Beach's 100+ championship golf courses. Two "Hooters Girls," dressed in their restaurant uniforms, were on each flight assisting the (traditionally attired) in-flight crews with hospitality duties. Hooter's has one of the lowest gaming revenue for a Strip casino, but has one of the highest ratio of non-gaming to gaming income.
I had a client years ago who aaaaaaaaaaaaalways wanted to go to Hooters for lunch on my company card. It was such a bummer trying to pick out a single thing on the menu that I could remotely enjoy eating. Playboy actually had good articles. Hooters did not, in fact, have good wings. The absolute rock-bottom they could have done was tend to their pretense appropriately.
