Will A Family-Friendly Makeover Save Hooters?
Will a family-friendly makeover save Hooters? They appear to be hoping so by marketing to the whole family–not just dad.
For years, Hooters has aimed at their target demographic–men. Business was good! However, things have changed and Hooters isn’t what it once was. People aren’t going out to eat as much and they can get their fix of scantily clad women online and elsewhere. It’s no longer exclusive to the wing chain. So, now, the restaurant is looking to rebrand with hopes of being more family-friendly and appealing to the entire family and not just the men. Will it work? Will it be enough to help them survive these crazy times? They are hoping so but only time will tell!
Hooters Getting A Family-Friendly Makeover
I never thought I would see the day that Hooters tries to become family-friendly. It was their whole thing! You know how many family-friendly restaurants there are out there? Almost all of them! That’s what set Hooters apart from the rest! Now, it sounds like they’re going to try to conform with the rest of the restaurants in hopes of saving their butts.
Neil Kiefer, CEO of HMC Hospitality Group (the parent company of the group of men who created Hooters) tells Men’s Journal, “You go to some parts of the country and people say, ‘Oh, I could never go to Hooters, my wife would kill me. That’s depressing to us. We want to change that.” Might be a good idea, you don’t want to run a restaurant that will get husbands in trouble. That can’t be good for business.
Men’s Journal says Hooters plans on toning down the sexuality and making the food better with improved recipes and fresher ingredients. Part of their plans involve getting rid of Bikini Nights, per Men’s Journal.
5 Fictional Foods From Movies And TV That Look Delicious
Krabby Patty from "Spongebob"
When I think about animated food that looks delicious the Krabby Patty is one of the first things to come to mind. It’s simple but there’s something about it. I see one and I turn into Plankton with my desire to obtain a delicious Krabby Patty. I’m surprised they haven’t opened Krusty Krab locations in real life. You could have the Krabby Patty, the Krusty Krab Pizza, there are so many possibilities! Let’s get it going!
Pizza from "A Goofy Movie"
If you remember this movie, you remember that pizza. It was so cheesy it looked so good! The way it melted and pulls from the base–it’s truly mouthwatering. Few examples look better than that pizza. There’s something about that movie where even the Cheese Whiz looks good. Or is there just something about the timing of when I watch that movie? It always looks so good.
Ratatouille from "Ratatouille"
Sure, it’s animated. However, nearly every dish featured in the movie looks tasty. The animation department really did their job. It’s set in Paris so there’s already pressure for the food to look like the best in the world–and they delivered. Even though most of the food featured in the movie looks good, none look better than the Ratatouille. Mmm.
Ed's Special Sauce from "Good Burger"
What is in the sauce? What’s the secret? I always assumed it was just like Mac Sauce from McDonald’s. Maybe it’s more like Animal Sauce from In N Out? We know it has ketchup and lemon juice and tastes like lemonade and BBQ sauce because Ed says so in the movie, per Mama Plus One. However, we don’t know much more than that! I suppose that description would mean it is not like Mac Sauce so now I’m at a loss. It looked dangerously good in the movie from the reactions it got and I want some!
Scooby Snacks from "Scooby Doo"
Are Scooby Snacks actually dog food? Does it matter? You can’t say part of you didn’t want to try them to see what all the fuss was about. Don’t act like you never tried dog biscuits just to see what they tasted like. They look really good in the shows and movies based on the reaction. Are they “special” treats? They could be! Okay, if you don’t want to try the Scooby Snacks then you can’t deny you want one of those mega sandwiches Shaggy and Scoob are always eating.
