The Hooters restaurant chain where scantily clad young waitresses serve customers with food and drink has applied for a licence for an outlet at Salford Quays. An application has been submitted by Nottingham-based Julian Mills, 46 for the restaurant at 3 Capital Quay Salford to run from May 4.
The only other Hooters is based in Nottingham, but another one has been given the go-ahead in Liverpool against a backlash of opposition.
The application submitted to Salford City Council is for a licence to run live music, recorded music and dance performances. If granted, it will open from 9am to 1am seven days a week, along the lines of US-based Hooters restaurants. Plans to open only the second Hooters restaurant in the UK in Liverpool were met by a petition which slated the chain as 'an archaic and chauvinistic brand'.
