Business is flat but they didn't go bust.

Maybe the chain needs to recruit here:

Hopefully things will perk up

Down, but not out. Pelosi can relate....

Other private equity strip mining success story. The stores owned by franchisees rather that company owned are doing fine.

I’d rather go to Stuckey’s or Nickerson Farms

Or even Howard Johnson’s

“Our renowned Hooters restaurants are here to stay,”

That’s an uplifting message.

Get rid of the boobs & asses running the stores to protect the same working inside the stores.

I’ll be kept abreast of the situation.

The market activity on the stock is mostly shorts.

Sounds like some kind of financial squeeze.

That place practically runs on tips.

Thanks, I’ll be here all week.

The food got thin and the girls got fat.

Back in the day employment test at Hooters: You’re given a 40c bra and asked: “Here, fill this out”.

Let’s hope Hooter’s doesn’t go tits up.

We used to go weekly or maybe a little less about 35 years ago. They had a great grouper sandwich back then (FL chain), and the waitresses didn’t hurt any.

I still buy their calendar every year because I think a man’s garage area (where the stand up toolboxes live) should include a cheesecake calendar. Take that, feminazis!

Friends refer to the place as “The Owl Club.”

I always liked G Gordon Liddy’s. Stacked & Packed calendars. It made my work shop a little classier and listening to Liddy’s radio show killed time waiting for Rush to come on. When I worked graveyard shift I listened to Art Bell. I wish they were all still around. The guys that used to drop in to enjoy a cold one and admire the calendars have kinda thinned out too. Now Hooters is going tits up. Getting old ain’t for sissies guys.

Fair.

It beats the alternative.
