Hooters is an American casual dining chain founded on April 1, 1983, in Clearwater, Florida, by six entrepreneurs who popularized Buffalo-style chicken wings at a beach-themed sports bar setting. Famous for its World Famous Chicken Wings and the iconic orange-uniformed Hooters Girls, the chain helped transform chicken wings from a throwaway bar snack into a mainstream staple. With hundreds of franchise locations across the U.S. and internationally, the brand recently returned to its roots under re-acquired ownership by the original founding group.
