Hard times at Hooters


The restaurant chain is reportedly up for sale. Can babes and wings cut it in this economy?

The Hooters restaurant chain is reportedly up for sale, desperate for cash as business has fizzled.

The restaurants -- known for waitresses wearing short-shorts and down-to-there tank tops -- could sell for more than $250 million, analysts tell The New York Post.

The Post reports that Hooters has hired North Point Advisors, a San Francisco investment bank, to help with the sale. The restaurant isn't officially commenting on rumors that it has been shopping itself to private-equity firms.

What went wrong for Hooters? Well, the company doesn't make the smartest moves.

Hooters is too sports oriented. I'd like to see a company like Lubys buy them and offer their family style menu. They would do well and I don't say that because I own LUB.
 
Hope Golden Corral is coping better. We go there every month a time or two times. Can't beat their price or variety for a buffet meal.
 
Hooters was a stupid idea. The name is Hooters but if you stare too long, you're pervert.

And the food sucks. Buffalo Wild Wings is much better.

The only think that might save them is if they add lap dances to the menu, and maybe allow the customers to bury their faces in the girls hooters.:D
 
But the Hooters logo is a cute little owl with glasses?:D

Birch...the staff at the Lubys here (closed now) was nice enough but I just can't see them in Hooters attire.:blink:
