Jingthing Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I suggest they have a Muslims and Gays night where the ladies cover up so we all can taste those wings without being put off our food with too much bounciness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striderman Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 the sign on the front says opening august. there is zero chance of this as the clock is ticking and they have yet to start construction. the location has been cleared of the old structures but nothing else has been done. no materials or workers on site and front shutters padlocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striderman Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I have seen the sign announcing Hooters on Beach road. while the sign on the shutters closing off the site still says august i have seen an e-mail from the hooters vice president of development in the states saying now projected date is october. as of today no work has been started on the site other than the removal of existing structures which was completed a couple of months ago.

NanLaew Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 While the construction of Hooters languishes, McDonald's are racing ahead with a huge, new outlet right next to Pizza Hut at the Beach end of Soi 13/1. I would assume they will subsequently vacate Royal Garden so it will be interesting to see what will move in there as well. Is there any fast food franchise operated by Minor Holdings that hasn't opened in Royal Garden yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably has something to do with that pesky US law that says US businesses can't bribe foreign government officials. I used to work for a very ethical US company that refused to pay bribes (we sold to 50 or so countries), and it often hindered us. They'll eventually work it out, but I wouldn't be surprised if that were the reason for the delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was of the opinion that the delay was to fit with the "guaranteed" uptick in tourist arrivals when the regular high season kicks off. With oil at a 6 year low, the Chinese devaluation and the ensuing global shock waves with £73.9bn wiped off the FTSE 100 today, as the London stock market suffered its biggest tumble in over six years, I doubt there will be a Hooters in Pattaya at all.

striderman Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 went by today, still no work on the site but an official notice has been attached to the outside which i'm guessing is permission to start work. but i don't speak thai so if anyone reading this does and is in town.......................

toenail Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 BIG DEAL- not..... Went to Hooters in Shanghai China, bloody expensive food and drinks...sort of like a TGIFs or some other sterile cookie-cutter franchise. It will not last more than a couple years since the clientele that visits Pattaya are a bit frugal and walk go down the street to find cheaper beer and have more fun with the ladies, (The Hooters in Shanghai attracts the local working expats and curious visiting tourists).

slipperylobster Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) Who gives a hoot? (I hope they give me two...) Wish they would open in Chiang Mai, as we are hooterless, whereas Pattaya has already won the hub of hooters prize. Sort of like bringing a hamburger to a fine steak restaurant.

Jingthing Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) I totally disagree. It will be a huge hit with the family crowd. A taste of weird America for the unwashed Pattaya masses who could NEVER get a visa to actually go there! http://articles.latimes.com/2013/jan/18/business/la-fi-mo-hooters-revamp-family-20130118 The hope, according to Hooters Chief Marketing Officer Dave Henniger, is that customers view the revamped store as “the ideal environment to kick back and relax after work, get together to watch their favorite sports team and enjoy a delicious meal with their family.” After all, there’s nothing like barely concealed cleavage to perk up dinner with the kids. You can't take the family to a PING PONG show, but you can take them to HOOTERS. Speaking as someone who has never been and never will go, except if you're paying.

There's a thread in the Bangkok forum about Hooter's opening imminently on Sukhumvit Soi 15 (the old Beer Vault) and Hooter's girls on the sidewalks handing out flyers already. So you can pop up to Bangkok on the pretense that you are buying something you can't get in Pattaya, drop by Hooter's where they won't know you from Adam and nobody in Pattaya will be any the wiser. You can carry on the pretense you have never been and never will go as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contrary to popular opinion there are plenty of people in Pattaya who are non-frugal. The question is if Hooters can attract enough of them. OTOH, if they can attract enough of the visiting weekend and holiday Bangkokians they should do OK. It's probably not a place I will visit often but I'm happy I will have the choice.

Jingthing Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I don't care if they succeed or not and I would never eat there anyway. But I think they probably will succeed here with tourists who want some spice but short of ping pong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think they probably will succeed here with tourists who want some spice but short of ping pong. I'd go & have a look (once) I don't do go go bars as its too in your face. The birds want & know how to make money. No issues with that, it's their job. I expect hooters to be much the same albeit the birds won't (officially) be available for 'side orders'.
