More like another company that just doesn't have a place in 2025.

I don't get the concept of going to a place like Hooters and I think most young people don't get it, either. The type of people I would expect to go there are sad, sleazy losers and those generally have many other options nowadays - like Onlyfans or just gooning on the internet. If you're unironically going there for the food... what do they do that other places don't do better at the same price tag?

Surprised it took this long for it to die off.

I went there twice when I was like 12 with my mom lol. I don't think either of us were sleazy losers at the time?!? We were just talking about who had the best spicey chicken sandwich and that was her favorite so we had it once, loved it and then went back 2 days later. But that was 20 years ago, so I am sure things have changed.

Still, the hooters outfit is not even all that revealing. It is really tame by todays standards. I think there is far less people going there to ogle boobies than you think. Honestly, you can see more skin any day at the beach....

Those outfits are health code violations. I have no clue how a woman in a thong can serve food legally.

Wait, what? I went to a Twin Peaks once and it was daisy dukes. Flannels with deep cleavage tied up above the belly button. Was that just an outlier or did they change?

They would have special attire days where super skimpy outfits like lingerie is worn.
