Hooters Shuts Down Dozens of Underperforming Locations

The restaurant chain cites economic pressures and changing consumer habits while planning for future growth.

Around 40 Hooters locations have closed across multiple states, including Texas, Florida, and Kentucky.
The company attributes the closures to current market conditions, including inflation and rising labor costs.
Despite the shutdowns, Hooters plans to open new locations domestically and internationally.
The chain is also expanding its brand with new frozen food products available in grocery stores.
Hooters has experienced a 12% decline in the number of locations since 2018.
