RIP Hooters of Vermont



Looks like Hooters of South Burlington, Vermont did not have such a good July 4th weekend as it becomes the latest victim of the poor economy. The sad thing about this location is it is the one that was always on the "to visit" list and now sadly look like The Mayor will never get to. :-(


WCAX Vermont: Hooters, the franchise that made a splash when it opened its first restaurant located in Vermont, is closing. The news came quickly and without explanation.

A small group of Hooters employees was the first to break the news as they held posters on the sidewalk out front of the Williston road establishment. This would be the last day for the sports bar and restaurant. It's going out of business. But no one is saying why. Three-and-a-half years ago, Hooter's was just preparing to open. As we reported at the time, it promised to become a popular place. Dozens of people showed up back then for a soft opening.

That sucks. I went there once and they were VERY VERY nice to me.

I was running late driving down from Montreal and got there about a minute or two before closing. I told them about my Hooters quest and they let me in and poured me and my buddy beers and chatted and posed for pics with us. Above and beyond, as far as I am concerned.
