Hooters of America, Llc
Hooters of America, LLC is a franchise chain of U.S. restaurants primarily known for their chicken wings, beer, and hot waitresses in revealing garments. The company was founded in 1983 by six businessmen from Clearwater, Florida who sought to create an atmosphere that celebrates beauty and encourages respect between the staff members and customers. In 1984 they opened the first Hooters restaurant near the University of South Florida, beginning with 11 original menu items like burgers, sandwiches, salads and Buffalo-style chicken wings with sauces to choose from. Since then, the franchise now consists of over 400 locations around the world including countries such as Mexico, Australia, India and more. Despite having controversial marketing tactics like featuring photos of provocative women on billboards and magazine ads or throwing annual pageants for their waitresses called 'Miss Hooters', Hooters retains a loyal fan base across multiple generations due to its signature taste in food offerings and genuine hospitality offered by all employees at each location.
