Just two months after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and proclaiming its restaurants are "here to stay," Hooters has now abruptly closed dozens of locations across several states. "After careful consideration of what is needed to best position our company for the future, Hooters made the difficult decision to close certain Company-owned locations, effective June 4, 2025," a company spokesperson for the casual dining chain said in a statement on Thursday. Despite multiple requests, the company has not yet provided a list of those locations or confirmed the number of restaurants it permanently closed on Wednesday. However, it appears the closures include at least 30 Hooters locations in 14 states.
