The first existential crisis of Donald Trump's second term is upon us. Hooters, the iconic casual dining chain best known for its decades-long commitment to male camaraderie and female empowerment, is reportedly on the verge of filing for bankruptcy. The storied franchise has been struggling to overcome financial difficulties such as mounting debt and declining foot traffic at its nearly 300 locations across the United States, and recently engaged a law firm to explore a potential Chapter 11 filing, though no final decision has been made. The future of American prosperity is at stake.

Hooters going ‘tits up’ ping!
The food is terrible and the atmosphere isn’t really that great. I can’t remember the last time I was in one.
women’s breasts have been feeding man for years...
Let it die!
I don’t particularly like going to Hooters but my (adult) son used to. The last time we went the food was not good, it was overpriced, and the waitresses were not very attractive or even really attentive to customers. We did not go back.
There must be a spot somewhere in Trump’s cabinet for Al Bundy.
It’s a strip joint without the pole.
Hahaha hooters too big to fail.
There at least two Hooters that employ trannies. One is in Clearwater, FLA, the other not sure. Hooters can DIE on DEI.
Coming soon: “The Booty Barn!”
Hooters needs enhancements?
Hooters needs support.
“Hahaha hooters too big to fail.”
Following the Obama example with GM becoming Government Motors, I guess this calls for Government Teats (like we don’t already have enough of that.)
All things must pass.
Remember when the Blockbuster video stores began to shut down. All business models have life cycle unless there are needed changes and updates.
**Another example of a seemingly popular business closing.
A huge ToysR-Us store closed in San Rafael, Ca. about 7 years ago. That store had been in that location for over 20 years. Fewer kids shopping at brick and mortar stores these days. Not enough toys were moving fast enough to pay for the lease and employees. I thought some of the townfolk were going to need private therapy to get over their grief of that store closing down.
Lol, I was sure this was from The Bee.
Give me a Texas Roadhouse where you can get a real steak, some really cold beer, and waitresses just as nice looking, except properly clothed.
Also, you get all the peanuts you can eat and you can toss the shells to the floor!
Years ago I was driving with my late mother in the car. Anyway, as we passed a Hooters restaurant she asked me why it was called Hooters. I really didn't want to explain it to my own mom so I changed the truth a bit and explained it was an Owl-themed restaurant and it is called Hooters because owls like to go "Hoot! Hoot!"
After that whenever we drove by a Hooters restaurant, my mother would always yell out "HOOT! HOOT!"
40 years ago, they had an awesome fresh grouper sandwich that was very reasonably priced. And reasonably attractive wait staff, I will admit. I probably went once a month.
