'Next Hooters' Twin Peaks with 'lingerie Friday' already here amid bankruptcy fears
@Source: dailystar.co.uk
The raunchy diner chain to replace Hooters is already established with Twin Peaks has been tipped to take the top spot as the US' number one 'breastaurant'. It comes as the American arm of Hooters is reportedly preparing to restructure through a Chapter 11 bankruptcy code. Fans were devastated by the news, including golf influencer Paige Spiranac . Social media users also claimed Hooters has been in decline for years and that Twin Peaks has been bringing fierce competition to the table. Twin Peaks servers also wear a uniform – a crop top, low ride jean shorts, snow boots and knee length socks. The brand also has -1C beers and 'lingerie Fridays' – when staff are dressed in underwear only – to attract punters through the doors. Back in the early 2000s, Hooters took to the skies with an airline inventively named Hooter’s Air. It flew Americans all over the USA for three glorious years before it crashed and burned – figuratively and financially rather than literally. But what led the famously mildly titillating restaurant to think it could run an airline? And how did it go so spectacularly wrong? In December 2002, Hooters owner Robert Brooks acquired Pace Airlines - a charter airline. When he bought the planes, Simply Flying reports Brooks was only thinking about a flying billboard, which could have his bright orange brand plastered across it, but soon he realised there was a bigger picture. He decided to rebrand the planes as Hooters Air and run them as a fully functioning airline which would offer several domestic routes for the low price of $129 (£100). The planes would fly domestically to 15 destinations across the USA and offered additional legroom - a rarity for any low cost flight. Unfortunately, due to their lack of Federal Aviation Authority certification, Hooters waitresses were not permitted to act as flight attendants. They weren’t even allowed to serve food on board - and no, Hooters flights did not serve their famous wings. Instead, each flight would have two Hooters girls who essentially wandered around entertaining passengers and selling merch. The actual business of flying and looking after passengers was left to the professionals. Thank God.
