Considering its apparent penchant for infidelity, is it any surprise that mammary (and wings!) mecca Hooters is reportedly "desperate" to open an outpost in or around Park Slope? According to reports the chain has made unsuccessful plays for multiple properties in the area.
"I think they [Hooters] desperately want to open in the neighborhood, but I don’t think they’re going to on North Flatbush," Sharon Davidson, director of the North Flatbush BID, told Prospect Heights Patch when she confirmed that the restaurant had tried to get in at both the Triangle Sports building (across from the Atlantic Yards) and the Pintchik Paint and Hardware building a little further over.
We've contacted Hooters regarding their interest in the area, but have yet to hear back. Considering the upcoming arrival of the Nets—not to mention those Canz waitress poachers—we understand why they'd want to expand their foothold in the city beyond Midtown. They do have good wings.
