Hooters is the latest chain to close dozens of locations across the United States, blaming tough economic challenges including rising food and labor costs.
“Like many restaurants under pressure from current market conditions, Hooters has made the difficult decision to close a select number of underperforming stores,” a spokesperson told CNN.
The company did not release a list of affected locations or specific number. However, according to local reports, several dozen locations of the wing chain have closed, spanning several states including Florida, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Texas and Virginia. Some of those closed over the weekend, with others shuttering in the past few weeks.
Despite the closures, Hooters said the 41-year-old brand “remains highly resilient and relevant,” pointing toward its new lineup of frozen food sold at grocery stores and new restaurant openings overseas. “We look forward to continuing to serve our guests at home, on the go and at our restaurants here in the US and around the globe,” the company said.
Accounting for the closures, Hooters has about 300 global locations — a nearly 12% decline since 2018, per Technomic, a restaurant consulting firm. In comparison, rivals like Twin Peaks and Dave & Busters have all grown since then.Walters: California lawmakers fast-track restaurant exemption to hidden fees lawreleased this month by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
