Hooters Expands Brand With New Ventures

hooter_150.jpg

The restaurant chain that has nothing to do with owls and everything to do with cleavage has, for a while, been expanding its empire into new channels. Two years ago, the company launched Hooters Air which was followed by a Las Vegas casino licensing agreement, a hotel and a magazine, all of which are designed to send more people flocking to restaurants to ogle tightly dressed waitresses serving average food.

Business has been good for the chain which did $850 million last year and plans to open 60 new stores in 2005 with sales projected at $950 million.

I think I'll start my own theme restaurant based around women's asses. "Buns". A hamburger joint with thongs much in evidence. NASCAR dads will lap it up.

Nice placement of the Hooters photo right above the entry for "Industry Geared Up For Cannes."

Seems like an apprpriate caption.

Not to mention it's placement right below that fine post on the importantance of agencies creating specialty groups to target women:-)

If Hooters expands any further, we'll all be covered in saline solution.

I still think Steve should start a new blog around hot tottie ad talent. He obvious has an eye for zee ladies and is as horny as a dog with two dicks. And as we know, our industry is inundated with hot ad account strumpets. Who are also very professional and good at their jobs...blah, blah, blah.

That's a great idea! I've thought of it before but I think I'd have a little trouble convincing the hotties (guys and girls) to send in hot pix of themselves. Who knows though, it amazing what you see for pictures on the social networking/I wanna get laid sites.
