Popular American restaurant chain Hooters is set to open a new venue in Greater Manchester. The restaurant, known for its ‘scantily clad’ waitresses, has applied for a licence for an outlet in Salford Quays.
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.
The only other Hooters in the UK is based in Nottingham, while plans to open a second UK restaurant in Liverpool were met by a petition which slated the chain as 'an archaic and chauvinistic brand'.
