Hooters abruptly shuts dozens of 'underperforming stores' as inflation hammers diners

Hooters cited "pressure from current market conditions" as the reason for closing a select number of underperforming stores4. This decision was made due to inflation and economic challenges faced by the restaurant industry.

Hooters recently closed around 40 locations due to "current market conditions," which include rising food and labor costs1. This closure affects several states in the US, including Florida, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Texas, and Virginia. Despite the closures, Hooters maintains that the brand remains "highly resilient and relevant."
