Answer 1

" Several years ago while playing Parcheesi at "The Home for the Visually Offensive" several semi-intellectual Clearwater businessmen had a sudden urge for the smell of rough sawn lumber and/or the taste of Buffalo style chicken wings. Knowing full well that they could not agree on anything as a group, and that they could not get a weekend pass from the "home" to go to Buffalo, they decided to embark upon a major undertaking, that being to open a place in Clearwater where other people of their caliber could gather and quench their thirst for the finer things in life.



Their venture, however, got off to a slow start. After announcing their plans, the "Hooter Six" as they are now called, were promptly arrested for impersonating restauranteurs. There were no indictments, but the stigma lingers on.

There were many obstacles ahead, not the least of which was procuring a suitable location. After months of negotiations and a heated bidding war with "Wells Brothers Disposal," who wanted to use the building for a giant walk-in Dumpster, terms were agreed to and 2800 Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard, Clearwater, Florida was theirs.

Now the dilemma...what to name the place. Simple -- what else brings a gleam to men's eyes everywhere besides beer, chicken wings and an occasional winning football season? Hence, the name -- Hooters -- It is supposed that they were into owls.

Well, the place was a huge success (which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt "There's no accounting for taste") and "The Six" started building Hooters all over the country. When they finally made it to Los Angeles County, they settled in beautiful Santa Monica, where the "Town Fathers" welcomed them with open arms. (OK! - open arms / shotguns...what's the difference!!) Now - full of themselves (among other things) with their continued success in Santa Monica and Long Beach, they began their diligent search for the next site of protests and demonstrations (I mean the next perfect site for their beloved "Hooters"). While doing so, they got caught in a typical L.A. traffic jam.



After three days, and the realization that they had bought their Minnie, Mickey and Goofy "jammies", they finally decided to leave the "110" (just another "have your girl call my girl-we'll do lunch," - California thing), and find a new way home. Thus, fate played cupid when our heroes discovered and fell in love with the City of Pasadena.



After hearing from some "Little Old Lady from Pasadena" of the mysterious existence of the world's largest bowl of roses, the decision was unanimous, and the newest Hooters restaurant would open in Old Town Pasadena, on Colorado Boulevard. So - while guys go searching for their "Little Old Lady" and the huge "Bowl of Roses" come in, pull up a chair, and "Welcome to Hooters of Pasadena!"



(By the way, they're still puzzled by the California nuances of hospitality...Why were all those people on the highway waving at them with their middle fingers instead of their hands like most folks do?)



All this B.S. aside, languish in the the end result, sit back and enjoy yourself. If there is anything special you require, please ask -- within reason, of course. You'll soon learn why we say "Hooters makes you happy."©

Answer 2

The same reason any business is created: to make money.

They discovered a niche market (look that up). Cheap food, cute waitresses, sports TVs everywhere, casual and fun.

Nowadays, I'd guess they make a fair percentage of their total revenues from merchandising, not just food/drink sales

Answer 3

the 2d is a closer explanation of the 1st. it particularly is like me asserting "Mankind created the wheel and the motor vehicle." it particularly is a valid fact which you would be complicated-pressed to discover everyone to disagree with it. yet on a similar time, never as quickly as did I say that the wheel and the motor vehicle replaced into created on a similar time. it particularly is an identical element with the two scriptures - Genesis a million:27 never as quickly as says that guy and lady have been created on a similar time, yet a lot of people tend to function "on a similar time" into it, for this reason starting to be the confusion you're feeling over it.

Answer 4

The owner just wanted to create a restaurant, but you can go to ask.com and it will give you good results.

Answer 5

To make money on men.

Men like chicken wings, beer and scantily clad women.

Answer 6

a place for college girls to make a good wage while working through school, but not quite a "stripper" job.

Answer 7

So men who can get no girls can look at the hot bodies of slim, boob implanted women while being served their meals.

Answer 8

To make money, just like any other business.
