Hooters has suffered a blow in its plans to open in Liverpool.
The American chain, which serves beer and bar food and employs scantily-clad waitresses, is expected to open a branch in Liverpool soon. It will be located in New Zealand House on Water Street - the site which used to be Newz Bar.
Hooters in Liverpool has split opinion since it was first mooted. Mayor Joanne Anderson is among those who are against its arrival, saying: "Hooters has an infamous sexually objectifying and misogynistic environment".
