Despite being a joke to younger people, somehow Hooters was doing fine financially.

The bankruptcy and these closures are just a private equity firm doing what they do best. Do a Leveraged Buyout, rip the copper out of the walls, then file for bankruptcy on the debt you took on to do the leveraged buyout.

The same company is also doing this with PF Chang's, TGI Friday's, and Claire's.

I'm truly torn between let-them-fight and shrug-outta-hecks

Private equity is just hollowing out everything and I don't know how to feel about it anymore.
