Hooters has reportedly shut down dozens of locations in places like Texas, Kentucky and Florida, citing concerns the stores were underperforming.
The Atlanta-based sports bar chain, Hooters, abruptly shuttered dozens of "underperforming" restaurants across the U.S., as it joins a growing list of eateries facing the harsh realities of inflation and changing consumer habits, according to reports. Nation’s Restaurant News reported that word began to spread on Sunday evening that Hooters locations in places like Bryan, Texas; Lakeland, Florida; and Louisville, Kentucky were closing abruptly, with nearly 40 restaurants in the U.S.
Since 2018, Hooters has seen a 12% decline in the number of restaurants, starting with 333 at the end of the year and finishing with 2093 in 2023, the publication reported, based on data from restaurant consulting firm Technomic. Despite the drop in the number of stores, Hooters is optimistic about the future of the restaurant, which features scantily clad women who serve chicken wings, beer and more.
