At least 44 “underperforming” Hooters restaurants have permanently closed in 14 states across the country in response to “pressure from current market conditions,” the chain told USA TODAY.
Hooters will continue to open locations domestically and internationally as it launches Hooters frozen products in grocery stores.
“Ensuring the well-being of our staff is our priority in these rare cases,” the statement released Monday said. “This 41-year-old brand remains very resilient and relevant. We look forward to continuing to serve our guests at home, on the go and in our restaurants here in the US and around the globe.”
The company did not clarify which Hooters locations were closed or share a timeline for the closings, but USA TODAY worked to cross-reference restaurant locations that were listed online in February with a list of locations online as of Tuesday.
USA TODAY Network reporters across the country found dozens of Hooters restaurants closed this week, including in Florida, Texas, Kentucky and Indiana.
