The opening of a third Hooters restaurant and bar in the UK has been delayed due to complex negotiations. For years Nottingham was the only Hooters in the UK, but was joined by the Liverpool location in November 2022 and will soon become one of three in the country as the third location is expected to open in Salford.
According to the boss behind the Hooters restaurant and bar, it could be the middle or end of 2023 before its outlet in Salford Quays can open. Julian Mills, has run the Nottingham Hooters for the last 21 years reports Manchester Evening News.
He has described negotiations with the landlord of 3 Capital Quay as "coming to an end" and stated he was "‘confident" the new Hooters bar would open some time this year. The licence for Hooters was granted by Salford city council in June despite 91 objections, including from Male Allies Challenging Sexism, the Women’s Equality Party, Yes Matters, FiLia, Womanchester and GM4 Women.
