2 Michigan Hooters abruptly close. Are any left after latest closures?
Hooters is near the end of an era in Michigan — abrupt closures this week have left just one location open in the state. The sports bar and grill chain closed more than 30 locations across multiple states Wednesday, June 4, including two in Michigan, USA TODAY reported. The restaurants in Flint and Taylor were among the closings. A Saginaw location is Michigan's last one remaining restaurant. The move comes several months after the restaurant chain filed for bankruptcy in late March 2025, though it had said no locations would close at the time. Here's what to know. In Michigan, the Flint and Taylor Hooters closed June 4, USA TODAY reported, leaving just one Hooters location open in the state. The restaurant chain, known for its chicken wings and servers wearing orange shorts and low-cut tank tops, began in 1983 and expanded to 29 countries before its decline, closing numerous locations in recent years. The following Hooters in other states also closed, per USA TODAY: Sanford, Florida Orlando, Florida - Kirkman Road Kissimmee, Florida - Osceola Parkway Melbourne, Florida Atlanta, Georgia - Downtown Douglasville, Georgia Gwinnett, Georgia Valdosta, Georgia Greenwood, Indiana Rockford, Illinois Newport, Kentucky St. Louis, Missouri - Downtown Charlotte, North Carolina - South Boulevard Columbia, South Carolina Rock Hill, South Carolina Murfreesboro, Tennessee Memphis, Tennessee - Downtown Nashville, Tennessee - Harding Place Grapevine, Texas Houston, Texas San Marcos, Texas Hooters said in a statement to USA TODAY that the closed stores were company owned and called the closures a "difficult decision." "Hooters will be well-positioned to continue our iconic legacy under a pure franchise business model," the company said. "We are committed to supporting our impacted team members throughout this process and are incredibly grateful to our valued customers for their loyalty and dedication to the Hooters brand." The company did not respond to a followup inquiry on a list of closed locations or when employees were notified of the closures. There were 305 Hooters locations, including 151 owned and operated by the company itself and a separate 154 operated by franchisees. The company has been closing locations suddenly since at least 2024. The company filed for bankruptcy in late March 2025 amid financial challenges. The Atlanta-based restaurant chain was then $376 million in debt and looking to sell 151 of its corporate-owned restaurants to a buyer group comprised of two existing Hooters franchises. At the time, no locations were expected to close and Hooters said it would "continue providing customers with the guest-obsessed hospitality experience and delicious food they have come to expect over the past 40 years." The closures leave one Hooters open in Michigan, at 5538 Bay Road in Saginaw. USA TODAY contributed.
