Hooters has announced the closure of approximately 40 underperforming restaurants across the United States. The decision, described by company executives as difficult, is attributed to current market conditions, including rising costs of rent and food. The closures have impacted around 1,200 employees. Locations affected include those in Texas, Florida, Kentucky, Rhode Island, San Angelo, Beaumont, and West Palm Beach. This move follows a trend in the casual dining sector where several chains are facing economic challenges. Despite the closures, Hooters remains optimistic about the future, expecting that downsizing may boost average visits per venue.
