You have to go into business with them, where you are forced to buy what and where they tell you. Ed McCool is the only person in Houston, that actually owns his OWN Hooter's, the rest are company owned. He has the one on Gessner and Westheimer. Super good guy, known him for about 10+ years. He GM'd for them forever, and they rewarded him.I'd hire Red to handle the SH.edit: OH, and I couldn't quite come up with the $500k in the bank to show I was worthy. I was only about $499k shy.

Jeebus Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 There's nothing classier than seeing a man bring his wife and two small children to a Hooters, and then watching him attempt to secretly check-out the waitresses.He's a real man of genius.

Those Bastards ! Why don't you start your own place similar to Hooters? It seems like they have been surviving w/o any competition. Why not open a restaurant similar to theirs? Hey, you probably won't need $500k to start one on your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcnet Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Buckeye is the street coming out of the neighborhood next to Wild West Honda (cycle shop) a short distance east of Academy on I-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert21979 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Work on the new Hooters has begun, at the corner of Buckeye and I - 10 feeder road, next to Wild West Honda.Erick,The location is great, how do you know that the area is for the Hooters, are their signs up or have you seen some type of proposal/contract? Just curious because i'm all for a hooters in katy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnet Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 There was a alcohol license issued by TABC to Hooters using the address of 22575 Katy Freeway, Katy, TX 77450. Looks to be the location referred to above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not open a restaurant similar to theirs? Hey, you probably won't need $500k to start one on your own. You are right Sifu, starting my own joint would only cost about $250k to $300k. Could I get a loan at Bank of Sifu ? There is a place on Hwy.6 called Wing Stadium. They are seriously hurting, the only place that I think gives Hooter's any competition is BW3's and they don't even have calender girls, and these days , not even most Hooter's around here have calender girls either. I don't know. This location seems rather odd to me, the only advantage I see is that they could have some promotions in conjunction with Wild West Honda. I would have bought a pad site at the Katy Mills Mall. Guaranteed traffic. However, I don't doubt that the powers that be actually did look into KMM, but knowing the folks that run KMM, they probably expected an arm and a leg for lease property, knowing full well how much business a Hooter's will generate out here. Bit of advice for KMM, "Pigs get fat, Hogs get slaughtered." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trae Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 A pad at Katy Mills would have been so much better. Even one in that Westgate Shopping Center would have been better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even one in that Westgate Shopping Center would have been better.I sort of agree, however, when they ever finish the mall across the freeway near the Cinemark it will be a good spot.

Gary Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Imo the East bund feeder between 99 and Mason is a dump, and by far the ugliest frontage in Katy. I'm very surprised this was the chosen location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJones Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I just drove by there about 5 minutes ago. That little pad of dirt does not look big enough to support a decent size Hooter's at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 can you explain. how is it a dump? What is there I am not thinking of?Well there's the Honda shop, two used car lots, a pipe fitting company, and a cheesy taqueria. Even the Landrys is in an outdated and painfully ugly strip center.To me the environment is just not right for something as eventfull as Hooters.

bcnet Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Hooters seems to be more like a "destination" for most folks unlike other restaruants say in a "resturaunt row". I know when I've gone I'm usually meeting a group a friends for happy hour or to watch a game. Being right on I-10 it is in a very visible spot and will probably get a lot of drive-by stops also for people coming through town. Just my opinion.
