    About Hooters

    Hooters is a franchise opportunity in the restaurant and food service sector. The quick-service and casual dining category remains one of the more active corners of franchising, and Hooters competes within it with a defined operating model.

    Opening a Hooters franchise calls for an estimated total investment of $1,253,300–$3,022,000. That figure includes an initial franchise fee of $50,000, along with costs such as equipment, buildout, signage, initial inventory, and working capital.

    Hooters does not publish a financial performance representation (Item 19) in its current FDD. In that case, the most reliable way to understand earnings potential is to speak directly with current Hooters franchisees during your due-diligence process.
