The iconic restaurant chain Hooters has abruptly announced the closure of 40 locations nationwide, citing the rising cost of food and rent.

......

While Hooters may not be to everyone’s taste, the closures are further evidence of the economic toll caused by rampant inflation, which has soared since the Biden regime seized office in 2021.

Last month, the Red Lobster restaurant chain announced that it would be filing for bankruptcy and closing nearly 120 restaurants across 27 states after sustaining continued losses.

Meanwhile, a recent survey by Lending Tree found that having once been an affordable alternative for lower-income workers, nearly 80 percent of Americans now consider fast food to be a “luxury item.”

10,000 fast food jobs cut in CA, hundreds of chains going bankrupt, basic grocery purchases are a luxury item, but

"Inflation is your imagination. You just need to be more appreciative of the great job biden has done. It's a messaging problem." - every democrat.

I would think the customers would like inflation in Hooters.

The financial health of stripper bars (and Hooters) has always been a indicator of the financial health of the nation. The closing of any Hooters’ location is not a good sign.

I paid over 11 bucks for an Arby’s meal in Georgia on my way back home. Good times! /sarc

[DallasBiff]

Well DEI, probably pressured Hooters, to hire waitresses, to look like this one.

[P-Marlowe]

Price augmentation.

Let’s go, Brandon!

The Baltimore location for Hooters is probably closing because the Inner Harbor (where it is located) has been overtaken with crime thanks to BLM, George Floyd, etc. The Inner Harbor used to be a tourist mecca and the gem of Baltimore and now there are robberies and assaults in broad daylight.

we thought inflation was Hooter’s specialty, breasts and all

Is it ‘them’, Yogi?..................

Hooters has abruptly announced the closure of 40 locations nationwide, citing the rising cost of food and rent.

While what they're saying is true - it's also a good opportunity for companies to close stores in 'marginal' and high crime areas.
