Plans are afoot to open a 'Hooters' restaurant in the heart of Salford Quays with a planning application reportedly already submitted to Salford Council.
46-year old Nottingham based Julian Mills already runs a branch of the American chain famous for its scantily clad waitresses in his home town and he is looking to expand the business into Capital Quay this coming May.
The application submitted to Salford Council is for a licence to run live music, recorded music and dance performances. If approved, the restaurant will open its doors between 9am to 1am seven days a week to its customers.
Meanwhile, similar plans to open a Hooters restaurant in Liverpool were met with a petition which condemned the chain as ‘an archaic and chauvinistic brand’, however it didn't stop Liverpool council granting permission despite the controversy and objections from a number of councillors, including the Mayor who said it promotes a “misogynistic environment”.
In the application, Mr Mills has agreed to advertise his application ‘in the local newspaper and that notice should appear at least once within 10 working days of the application being submitted’.
Hooters originally announced plans for 36 new UK locations in 2008 but only sites in Cardiff and Bristol opened, however, they were short lived as both ended up closing.
