The Hooters restaurant chain, known for its chicken wings and distinctive waitstaff uniforms, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The filing was made in a Dallas court by HOA Restaurant Group, which aims to restructure its debts while continuing operations. A group of original founders plans to acquire and manage more locations. Despite challenges, including past discrimination lawsuits and sponsorship issues, Hooters remains committed to its long-term presence in the market.
