It has nothing to do with erotic and family friendly being uncomfortable.Its the fact that the 1990s girl next door aesthetic has gotten pretty dull.They don’t have to show more skin but the vibe needs to be updated.They need to rebrand.
Any social media post that has Hooters and bankruptcy as its subject, and yet resists using the phrase ‘going bust’ is failing its more puerile readers on the most basic level.
Oh lol, America. Just legalise fucking already, everyone does it…
Such a land of contradictions.
One of the only developed countries to keep prostitution illegal as if that works…
I was taken by a client to an Atlanta Hooters in the mid-1990's. I'll never forget.
A bosomy young woman with cascading red hair walked over to our table and with a twinkle, she introduced herself:
"Hey fellas, see anything that looks good? It doesn't have to be on the menu."
Boobs are everywhere even on my young grandson's Facebook account where erotic pornography is flashed on his feed and no one cares. So why do people need to go to a restaurant to eat food and look at boobs? Only perverts need to do that because women can look in the mirror.
Performative vice-signaling has given way to just rampant vice in these latter days. No one wants to celebrate being on the Giant Slide To Hell, once you've passed the event horizon
They didn’t change with the times… all their locations are ancient and need to be remodeled, their uniforms look like they’re from the 80’s and they should have switched their mascot to an owl decades ago. Good management could have saved them.
Their menu is built on chicken wings but other places have come along and do it better. Busty staff in tight clothes is the standard for many sports bar/wing places that are doing just fine. And your story is misleading - Hooters of America is many franchise stores. Original Hooters is doing fine.
In the ‘80s, we used to go to the original Hooters on Gulf to Bay Boulevard in Clearwater. It was a novelty when it first opened. The wings were great and the beer was cold. After it became a commodity, the novelty wore off and the rai·son d'ê·tre
vacuous. It’s probably time for Hooters to die.
Long time customers will be wanting a trip down mammary lane but the corporation is likely to be stripped for their assets! Somebody has to say this stuff!
