Hooters

Rating:
(4.8)
Since it started out in 1983, Hooters has shot to worldwide success, and it is now a household name across the world. It started out in Clearwater, Florida, when 6 businessmen came together to open their restaurant vision. The idea behind Hooters was that these men wanted to open a restaurant so that they couldn’t get kicked out. While Hooters is known for its beautiful servers and delicious menu, you might be surprised to hear that the restaurant is deeply involved in many charities in the communities that it serves. For instance, they established a grant for Breast Cancer Research which was inspired by the 1998 Hooters calendar girl Kelly Jo Dowd who battled breast cancer.
