Auburn Hooters

[Kaos]

No, you pervs, it isn't what you think. 

I was wondering why the Hooters franchise didn't take in AU.  I ate there once when it first opened and they had imported a ton of corporate talent. 

Was in Auburn Friday and noted that it was no longer Hooting.  The orange roof had been painted red.  Didn't the idiot who took it over not even have the sense to paint it blue?  Red? What a maroon.

Is it no longer open as a Hooters?  I always figured there were two franchise opportunities ripe for the picking in Auburn - Hooters and Krispy Kreme.  Seems like there was a problem with a manager at the Hooters down there getting busted for pressuring the waitstaff into "favors" a couple years back?  Maybe that was the problem.  I had heard that the sororities forbade their members from working there, but there still should have been plenty of talent to stock that place.  I stopped by there while in town with a couple of co-workers, and ended up apologizing to their yankee asses due to its poor caliber of Auburn women.

The Tuscaloosa Hooters is usually running really low on talent.   The few times I've been in there, none of the girls were locals.  I don't know where they bring them in from to work.

I heard a lot of the Auburn girls who were working along with the initial imported talent were pretty unhappy about the conditions once all the borrowed people left.  I hadn't heard about them closing or anything, but I'm not exactly surprised.  I guess the manager sucked or something and they just couldn't keep servers in there and working.

my take on hooters in general terms.

15 years ago = fewer hooters franchises

fewer hooter franchises = better hooters, camel toe and smokin' hot asses. 

present day = a hooters franchise on every street corner

more hooter franchises = less quality girls

Krispy Kreme franchise in Auburn now that would be heaven, My brother in law and I have talked about opening one up!

I agree with this.  I remember when going to Hooters was something special - similar to a Hard Rock or Planet Hollywood.  You'd buy the Hooters shirt with the city's name underneath and everything.  The chicks were smokin hot and it was just a cool place to get some wings.  Nowadays, every time I go to Hooters (which isn't often anymore) my waitress either doesn't have the qualifications to sport the Hooters shirt she's wearing, or her hoots meets the qualification, but the rest of her body looks like 200 lbs of melted marshmellows stuffed into a 100 lb orange bag.  It's really depressing. 

[Snaggletiger]

Closed?  Damn.  Every time I'd take a guy trip to the Plains for a game or practice or just passing through, Hooters was a must and we always had a good time there.  How on earth could a half decent Hooters not make it in a college town? 

[wesfau]

I must be an anomaly:  I find Hooter's food to be average at best and would rather not be lumped in with the slack-jawed yokels that frequent that joint because they're too cheap to hit up the titty bar.

[Snaggletiger]

There are no titty bars in Auburn.....that I know of.  Yes, you are an anomoly.

That was the third open franchise opportunity I could see in Auburn - but I figured the Krispy Kreme and Hooters were more practical.  (Besides, the tats-n-twats of Victory Drive are less than an hour away)

There is a business that I always wanted to open in Auburn (or any college town for that matter):

A "Suds n' Cinema".  It's a second/third run movie (think $1 cinema) joint that sells beer, wings, pizza and sandwiches.  There aren't traditional movie seats, you watch from your table.  This joint exists in Ft. Walton Beach and was a mainstay of my late teenage years.  It's a really cheap and fun date.  During Monday night football, they would show the game.  You pick your team when you sit down and everytime they score, you get a free draft.

I love it.  Let's get the ball rolling on this.  You do all the work and cut me a check for 51% every two weeks, and I'll give you the naming rights to call it Ogre's Suds n' Cinema.  Deal?

Man, that is a sweet deal.  Will you fuck my girlfriend, too?

[Saniflush]

That's my job.

Send me some pictures and we'll talk.

We're bringing in a union.  Your dues are late.

This is already a failed experiment in Auburn.


Hooters = Waffle House without the good food.

Sounds like the old Shakey's Pizza here in the Ham many moons ago.  You could get pizza and beer while watching old Charlie Chaplain and Three Stooges movies at your table.  Worked well then, I don't see why it wouldn't work now.

Used to be a place like that in Tuscaloosa.  Took a date there to see Fatal Attraction.  She turned out to be a bunny boiler, too.  Crazy skank.

That place went ass up years ago. 

For whatever reason people wouldn't act right.  Throwing food, fighting.  Just didn't work.
