You had to know that after a long period of time, Hooters would fall.

Queen City Riverboats was using the dock there to ferry fans over to Great American and Paycor for Reds and Bengals games. I wonder if the dock area is still intact.

Iirc Hulk Hogan was looking into investing in Hooters, to get it going again. Maybe his body is in it and they are gonna shoot flaming arrows at it like an old Viking funeral.

Seriously though, that would be something John Daly would want done to get himself cremated.

He was just running his mouth. The original guys still left around formed a buyers group and fhe sale should be completed by the end of the month. All lf fhe closings were due to the dumbass PE group we had running things.

Once profits begin to sag it’s not too long before a complete bust occurs, but Hooters was the tits for a while.

The gravity of the situation is eye opening.

That is how some oilfield businesses cycle out until being purchased by a much larger player. Sell out for top dollar wait until the private equity group runs it into the ground and buy for less than you sold it for.

Went there several times on Reds/Bengals gameday. But it had definitely been awhile. I usually go to Brothers at Newport on the Levee before games nowadays.

I remember when the Hooters on College was one of the most legit happy hour spots in the city before Siegen really built up.

It was a helluva time….decent wings, cold beer, and waitresses that were easy on the eyes. In recent years the Hooters I’ve went to which is very few couldn’t really claim any of those.

Is the new owners name Porky? If so I’m going for the P-stampede.
