yes, but the ex CEO did not exactly bail on Hooters company to start a Twin Peaks franchise

He was...fired by the PE firm that bought the chain

My fiancé is from Myrtle beach area and the hooters founder is one rich icon down there lol

Hell a couple smoke show chicks from my high school worked there and were on the calendars, bikini competitions, etc and got full rides to college through it

I’m from Myrtle and I swear now it’s just a place for 50 year old golfers to flirt with girls that look 16.

I mean to say, other hooters I’ve been to the girls actually look 18, our hooters look like high school freshmen girls in 2003 with no makeup skills going to their first college party. Golfers that come here are extra weird

The food at twin peaks is better than hooters. The views ar also better.
