After five years of negotiation and preparation,
Hooters has finally brought chicken wings and hot babes to the
Land of the Rising Sun.
On October 25th, Hooters of America Inc.
opened its first-ever Japanese outlet right in the dab middle of
Tokyo. Featuring 40 scantily clad Japanese hooters girls, the
restaurant will inherit everything that made its original
counterpart in Atlanta so famous. I’m talking about the same sexy
outfits, the same over-sized TVs, and the same delicious menu with
to-die-for hot & spicy wings!
There is however going to be one difference. Whereas
Hooters restaurants in America focus more pleasing men with
unadulterated sex appeal, its Japanese counterpart is more
concerned with presenting a “healthy, friendly, and hospitable”
image that concurs with the Japanese culture.
“Of course, we expect a lot of guys to come here to see the
girls,” said Mitsu Tanabe, CEO of Hooters Japan. “[But] It’s not
the image of Hooters that we want.”
Truthfully, the whole mixture of “entertainment and showbiz as
well as good food and drink is completely new to Japan,” noted Coby
Brooks, an American franchise who attended the launch party. But he
is optimistic about the results, which is why more restaurants are
on their way.
Mind you all future Hooters in Japan will only be situated in
similarly nice communities & areas, lest the girls garner the
attention of malicious street thugs, ninjas, and other
riffraff.
Well done, Hooters! But be on a lookup for American rappers
touring in Japan. I heard through the grapevine that they LOVE hot
wings, not to mention hot babes!
