It really should have folded back in the late 90s or early 2000s. samhexum 1

+ Just Chuck Posted February 23 Posted February 23 (edited) I had a friend who was looking into that "breasturant" business model. He learned that Hooters, Twin Peaks and the other chains like that don't have "waiter or server" jobs. They advertise and hire "models who serve" which allows them to consider looks during hiring. Tallywackers was a restaurant in Dallas, Texas that was intended to be the male equivalent of Hooters. Tallywackers featured male waiters in tight hotpants and often shirtless. The restaurant closed in August 2016. I never managed to go there during the short time that they were open. Edited February 23 by Just Chuck Added a link. samhexum 1
+ sync Posted February 23 Posted February 23 A considerable part of it may be simple economics. Fewer budgets today can afford the option of novelty dining. samhexum, BSR and + Just Chuck 3
Jiminy Posted February 24 Posted February 24 You know, Hooters was the only place where I remember having a great burger. Gawd I miss that place. samhexum and + Pensant 1 1
jeezifonly Posted February 24 Posted February 24 (edited) I always thought that a chain called PECKERS would have been fun. Serverboyz wearing bike shorts, tight crops. (A woodpecker logo, obvs) Menu highlights would’ve included several items made from zucchini, sausages, cucumbers, and bananas, providing decor themes.

Ali Gator Posted February 27 Posted February 27 The chain restaurant, founded in 1983 and known for young, attractive, big-breasted servers and bartenders, closed forty 'underperforming locations' last year (in Rhode Island, Virginia, Florida, Kentucky and Texas) and what's left of the company is now preparing for bankruptcy. Hooters preparing to file bankruptcy after shuttering dozens of locations: report WWW.THE-INDEPENDENT.COM Hooters closed approximately 40 locations last year and owes $300 million in asset backed bonds
+ PhileasFogg Posted February 28 Posted February 28 A beautiful woman is a wonderful thing. But I tended to see more skanks at Hooters than beautiful women. samhexum and mike carey 1 1
