Hooters to Open Three New Restaurants
Strip news for the last few weeks sees few new venues but Hooters the US ‘restaurant’ chain are planning 3 new venues for the UK, Brighton, Cardiff and Bristol should be opened in the news few months with add to the existing one in Nottingham opened a few years ago.
Will the same draconian level of legislation be applied to these as to the average strip clubs? No probably not. Many venues in the UK are topless which is not really much difference to that lets face it. Maybe a big US chain can get round it. The same feminista backlash will be in evidence that the strip industry has seen in the last 10 years, the same organisations, the same names and the same blind accusations.
Could be an answer to the industry clubs having restaurants with ‘hostesses’ in skimpy dress, a la Bunny Clubs of yesteryear. Venues need to move on and see a gap in the market and get around legislation that seems to grow ever more repressive every year.
Hybrid clubs with strip or lap dancing on one level and another level with hostesses in the Hooters style could be the way forward.
Several venues in England have regular restaurants or other levels of entertainment, as to Hooters you see more on the average city centre after closing time! £20 for a burger and couple of beers, you will be asking a bit more.
