Sleazy Gateway Pundit: "Biden's fault"

Actual restaurant trade journal:
quote:

Hooters is the latest casual dining chain to close a significant number of locations amid a challenging operating environment where costs remain high and consumers become more discerning.

Translation: Clientele are sick of shitty Hooters food.

One of the biggest issues that I have with restaurants is the way that they typically close down locations

They give zero notice to the employees.

The workers at these 40 locations showed up to work to find out on the door that the location had been shut down and that they were immediately unemployed.

This has always come off as a cruel business practice.

Your quote literally says the food is getting too expensive

But by all means, keep defending this crappy administration

I don’t see the one in Bossier City lasting much longer since the boardwalk that it’s on is completely dead.


It is doing fine. We are upgrading the AV system this week or the next in fact. As the guy who used to run that one I do agree the Boardwalk is a problem.


I'd love to expound upon what is going on but, at this point, I cannot. Our franchise is in great shape and I'll leave the South Florida franchise's instagram post for you

Rampant inflation of hooters is a good thing.

Rampant inflation of chicken costs, less so.

That’s the conclusion you took from that sentence? How high are you right now? More like, insane inflation, due to the dipshits running the country, has greatly increased operating costs and limited discretionary spending for a significant percentage of the country, so…they go to Hooters less.

From Wikipedia:
quote:

On July 1, 2019, Hooters was sold to Nord Bay Capital and TriArtisan Capital Advisors.


It’s been in hard decline since the Brooks family sold it after the father died. They’ll be Red Lobstered before long.

There’s a small chain of Hooters restaurants called Original Hooters not owned by Nord Bay that’s what Hooters was in the 90s. They’re all around Tampa I think.

They sponsored Alan Kulwicki when he was in a jam.
I'll remember that for a long time, and I wish their owners well.

He won a championship for "em, the he effin' died.

I went to a Hooters a few months ago for the first time in probably a decade. I was surprised how good the food was.

You're not far off but a solution will happen imo. That particular franchise is who I linked and we work with them a lot

Geez the author needs to open his eyes if hooters still is described this way. There are places way way way worse. Than short shorts, panty hose and a tight tank.
