Des Moines metro area's only Hooters closes

I never understood that either. And people here always talk about that place in Gilbert being a steak mecca.
my wife grew up a block from there and her dad mentions it all the time. i own a grill too but he never pays me to come use it.
Hooter's wasn't put out of business by Twin Peaks or Tilted Kilts etc.... If guys over 18 want to go to an establishment to see hot chic's they go to a strip club.
Hooter's was made irrelevant by Wings joints like BWW's or places like Okoboji bar and grill offering far superior boneless chicken bites (anyone that has had Sweet Chilli boneless bites with Boji fries would never go to Hooter's).
Hooter's was done in by it's menu plain and simple.

Just to add to my previous reply. I would rather buy a package of frozen Tyson Wings eat them at home and go to Mickey's with their 6 to 1 Dude to Chic ratio; then go to Hooter's eat sub par Wings with attractive but completely unavailable women...

Exactly, plus its right off 235 and 5 minutes from downtown. Get the right stores...it'll work.
If it is, then they will be moving to a new location since the current building is being razed and replaced with another restaurant.
oliceman: grammar police!!!Twin peaks is a very big part of Hooters` demise.

Here is a quote from the article that proves my point Twin Peaks had nothing to do with Hooter's down fall.
"An investment group led by Coby Brooks, who served as president and CEO at Hooters of America LLC from 2003 until last month, has signed a series of development agreements to open 35 new Twin Peaks restaurants over the next 10 year
Hooter's was on the downward slide well before 2003. They certainly didn't grow as a brand after 2003. Any fool that would follow Mr. Brooks into a business venture will not get my sympathy when it doesn't work out. The model isn't dead, but the menu must be spectacular for these business' to last long term. Do some research. Find the Bar Rescue episode from 2012 where John rescues a Bikini Bar in Cali. Everything has to be good (drinks and menu) and done tastefully to thrive in that market.
It isn't rocket science guys I can find a dinner and bar experience at different locations that doesn't have me second guessing and considering Twin Peaks, Tilted Kilt or Hooters. Because of that the experience needs a face lift that even Twin Peaks can't provide. When we are here in ___ years talking about how Twin Peaks is going under then what?
I have been to Twin Peaks twice and I find their food marginal and their wait staff dumber then a box of rocks. I still have nightmares about the hostess that would say "Hiiiiiiiii" to everyone that walked in the door. I'm not sure if she had a nasal issue that day or always sounded so horrid but it was disturbing.
Yep. Its a prime location that even the new owner company seems to recognize has been neglected.

I was up in Bismark, N.D. and stopped in the Hooters there. Not a pretty sight.
But I am here in Oklahoma City, and there are three Hooters here including one in the Bricktown area across from the ball park where the Redhawks play. I have checked out all three -- for the sake of accurate reporting -- and the waitresses at all three were amazingly cute. Ironically, OKC also has two Twin Peaks locations. I have not stopped at those places -- YET!
