Hooters of America, Inc.
 PROFILE
Hooters of America can just as easily draw a crowd of protesters as it can attract legions of fans. The company owns and franchises more than 250 eateries in North America, Europe, and Asia. Its waitresses, decked out in trademark short shorts and teeny T-shirts, serve such haute cuisine as spicy chicken wings, sandwiches, and beer. The chain unabashedly relies on female sex appeal to attract a 70% male clientele (most between the ages of 25-54). Six friends, none of whom had any restaurant experience, opened the first Hooters in 1983. The next year they sold the expansion and franchise rights to Hooters of America, which is now controlled by chairman Robert Brooks.
