Hooters on NEast Close Down

Dyno247365 · #1 06-24-2007, 11:16 AM

My roomate Anthony worked as a cook for the Hooters in our mall, and over thursday night they closed down with no warning. My friend and I thought it was a joke so we went to the mall, they really closed down, the entire Northeastern franchise went bankrupt only the private owned locations such as NYC stayed open. This is some bull, I miss the Hooters already, and the wings...and the legs. DAMNIT OWL WHY!?!?!?

I'm surprised they didn't close sooner. They've been in bankruptcy proceedings for quite awhile now, surprised they hung on this long. There were two Hooters in our area, one opened 12 years ago , the other about 4 years ago. The one that was opened 4 years, closed down last Fall, and the other one just shut down last week, (and it was reported in our paper that they just signed a 10 yr. lease on their spot just 2 years ago.) I know when they first opened 12 years ago,(in Carousel Mall,) they were located next to the giant carousel which is the centerpiece of this mall. Many people had issues with their location being next to the carousel where many parents brought their kids for a ride.They thought having the restaurant so close was "not in good taste."

tasted good to me. When we got there, they were moving all kinds of stuff out of the restaurant and my friend picked up his last paycheck.

I copied an excerpt from our local newspaper's article that ran yesterday about the closing:
"The restaurant would be a place for adults to hang out and watch sports on television, while their children played with the restaurant's toys, the manager said."
Gee, I wonder what 'toys' that would be??

i've never been to a hooters, i think theres one in town (or at least there was one 10 years ago, can't remember where, can't remember if it's still around)

I'm just waiting for some religious or moral-type group to come out of the wood work and claim responsibility for Hooters closing. They would probably base it on Hooters not being moral and many people are now realizing that( also playing on the fact of not being "politically correct",) and not patronizing them for that reason.

it's okay, there is a whole hooters casino in vegas. actually is pretty nice.

Same thing happened here last fall. Both the Hooters restaurants just randomly closed while I was away at school.

Yup. It's a part of American Culture that is being threatened.

And besides, it sure beats some of the "threads" that have been on lately,( "dumbest member on site" and "the official soda talk forum" quickly come to mind.)
