At least 6 'underperforming' Hooters restaurants close in Texas, 40 nationwide

At least six Hooters restaurants in Texas suddenly joined the growing list of restaurant closures over the weekend, and more may follow.

Is Hooters closing?
A handful of Texas Hooters locations have been listed as "permanently closed" on Google, and national sports bar chain officials have confirmed the closure. U-Haul moving trucks were spotted being loaded outside of Lubbock's Hooters, which was among the Texas locations to permanently close.

Hooters employees also shared the closure is the most recent of around 40 locations that have shuttered across the U.S. In addition to the Texas locations, Florida also saw the closure of a Hooters over the weekend.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

Never been to one. Expect that to remain that way.

Yet another victim of Bidenomics ... I wonder when and where this nationwide service industry collapse will end?

I hated when my favorite lunch spot, the Shrimp Hut in Seabrook, became a Hooters.

If I remember correctly, it was a Busy Bee Cafe before that.
Huge cinnamon rolls.

I went to Frank's Shrimp Hut most every week, until it became a Hooters.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Pretty bad when Hooters goes flat... 888mouth

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Big rolls?

I remember back 20 years ago when we lived near Houston, there was a place called Kelly' that did the same.  Think they had one in Pearland, and another down one exit on I-45 past NASA Road 1. 

They also had these double plate sized Chicken Fried Steaks too that should have had a challenge to complete.

Are you sure, maybe it's just the explosion of gays and transgenders not interested in looking at BooBies, the Lesbians need to step up and help out those poor working girls.

The last time I was at a Hooters was about 15 years ago.  My wife was in the recovery room after a double mastectomy.  Across the lot from the hospital was a Hooters.  I walked over to commiserate the loss of the nicest pair of breast I had ever fondled and look at what i would be missing. All I saw was augmented boobies, Tats and bad wings.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

They're still there. I haven't been there in a long time though.

I've only been to a Hooters once. My manager won a bet that paid off in giving all of us free meals at Hooters.
