…is the headline that we’ll probably be reading at this time next year. Because if you didn’t hear, the Hooters company has decided to attempt a spin-off restaurant concept, called Hoots, which will feature most of the same food, but less tits, less ass, more clothing, but most notably, more dong; they will additionally have male servers in addition to females.
Sure, times change. Things change. Stay ahead of the curve. Don’t wait until adversity to start adjusting. Embrace new ideas.
I get it, Hooters is trying to do something new, diversify their brand, perhaps tap into the demographic of people who think the parent restaurant concept is sexist, disgusting and not worth spending any money at.
But if there’s one company that doesn’t really need to take these kinds of risks, it’s Hooters. People don’t go to Hooters for the food, although their wings are pretty great, not to mention a buffalo chicken cheese dip that I recently had that was pretty awesome. No, people go to Hooters for a very transparent reason that men like to look at pretty women wearing tight, tacky uniforms, eat shit food, drink beer, and watch man-centric television when no waitresses are in sight. Women go to Hooters to keep tabs on their men, indulge in the same shit food, and judge other women.
