The iconic American restaurant chain Hooters suddenly shuttered more than 30 of its locations this week as it continues to go through bankruptcy.
Hooters called the closures a ‘difficult decision’.
All of the locations that closed their doors across the US on Wednesday were company-owned.
‘Hooters will be well-positioned to continue our iconic legacy under a pure franchise business model,’ the company told USA Today.
‘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.’
Hooters did not provide a list of closed locations, but local news outlets have reported several dozen are no longer operation.
