Good luck with that, I don't think it will last long with those sort of ridiculous prices. I might add that over 20 years of going to Go Go Bars I have never ever paid a service charge or VAT for a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooters is basically a family friendly theme restaurant. The theme is Hooters. If you just want a beer to gawk yes that is poor value.

You got that part right, I got no interest in overpriced American themed family restaurants, none whatsoever. Who do you think will spend big money in there? Chinese or Indian tourists? (you know the ones with families?) Good luck with that, it will end up being patronized by American expats that would for some reason find it good value to spend 233 baht for a draft beer. Up to you but I avoid all these types of places. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeefSlapper Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Thier franchise is a joke too. How long it would take to get that back? And is it make enough monthly to pay thier fees? Budget for the initial investment of a Hooters franchise, which comes to about $800,000 to $1.5 million for each restaurant, with a franchise fee of $75,000 for each location and an option fee of $15,000 for each additional restaurant within a territory.

1BADDAT Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I find it so humorous that people on this thread seem happy that they think Hooters will fail. The cheap Charlie's of the world truly are unique. They can't seem to separate money from any equation, and in general are displeased with others spending and having a good time. It has been explained many times that there are cheaper options in pattaya for entertainment. The people who go hooters will not be seeking cheap entertainment. They will be there for some food and attractive waitresses to serve them in a relaxed environment. Unlike the hundreds of bars, gogo's, and other restaurants, this is something UNIQUE. Will it succeed? Who knows, but I'm happy to see something new and different in pattaya to chose from. Latest I heard from a girl who interviewed this week there was that they plan on opening in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolley Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 There are franchises and there are franchises and Hooters is really just too tacky for words. Sorry for the poor mugs who front up the franchise money for this outdated 70s themed US centric style place. If only they had a good burger franchise or Mexican or a Nandos chicken that would be much more appealing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case Hooters will have sexy waitresses with large breasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to walk past the Hooters in Singapore when I was working there a couple of years back and the waitresses really didn't look that sexy and there wasn't any thing much on display. I think they were mainly Pinoys but I never felt tempted to go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanLaew Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Yep and being a Hooters Girl is respectable! They try to be. I dated a stripper in the US who moonlighted at a Hooters outlet. They have a management policy supposed to prevent strippers getting hired but some branch managers turned a blind eye. As remarked earlier, they have 'pretties' for promotional and openings but the waitresses will still be easier on the eye than most other burger joints. You pays your money and takes your choices and Jt is right, there's a new demographic with the Indians and Chinese with money that will lap this sh!t up. Talking of 'pretties', did anyone else catch sight of the 'Osaka Cake' girl at Big C Extra about a month back? I was chatting away with her, licking my eyebrows and seriously contemplating a trip to the amphur to get a divorce. Luckily my son chipped up with, "Can we buy some of these for mummy?"

arunsakda Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Hooters_Slide710x410_20140925-02.jpg 10 chicken wings for 399 Baht sounds like it will be giving Pattayas Cheap Charlies a heart attack.. There will be nothing cheap about Hooters prices... Many place I could go, and get two legs ..for that price....and I am not talking about chicken. Prices do vary. 10 wings Hooters Nottingham, UK ￡8.49. Mobile, Alabama $7.99(Been to that one there actually) . Clarke Quay, Singapore SGD $14.90. Still less than 390 Baht in freaking' Singapore! The unbridled greed becomes more unbelievable by the day. This business will fail, in my opinion. Initially there will be interest in the gals and the novelty but once all find they are just average and the food is naff attendance will quickly fall off.

We went there on occasion but Buffalo Wild Wings, Wing Stop etc had better wings in that area. That said we'll give Hooters a try next visit to BKK.
