Hooters closes over 30 restaurants suddenly, company calls it 'difficult decision'

Restaurant chain Hooters abruptly closed over 30 locations across multiple states June 4.
Hooters said in a statement to USA TODAY that the closed stores were company owned and called the closures a "difficult decision."
"Hooters will be well-positioned to continue our iconic legacy under a pure franchise business model," the company said. "We are committed to supporting our impacted team members throughout this process and are incredibly grateful to our valued customers for their loyalty and dedication to the Hooters brand."

The company did not respond to a follow-up inquiry on a list of closed locations or when employees were notified of the closures.
A sign indicates the closing of the Hooters restaurant at 5025 Oscar Baxter Drive in Tuscaloosa on June 4, 2025.
The company filed for bankruptcy in late March but did not indicate that restaurants would close as a result of the filing.
"Hooters is here to stay, and with a stronger financial foundation and streamlined operations on the other side of this process, we will be well-positioned to continue delivering the guest-obsessed hospitality experience and delicious food our valued customers and communities have come to expect well into the future," the company wrote on its website.
There are 305 Hooters locations, including 151 owned and operated by the company itself and a separate 154 operated by franchisees. The company has been closing locations suddenly since at least 2024.
