When Business asked Hooters to comment on the alleged closures, particularly how many outlets were closed and why, the company did not answer right away.
The Journal reported that Hooters has seen a 12% decline in the number of locations since 2018, with 333 locations at the end of the year and 2093 locations at the end of 2023, based on data from restaurant research firm Technomic.
Hooters is upbeat about the future of the restaurant, which boasts skimpily dressed women serving beer, chicken wings, and other items, despite the decline in the number of locations.
