Hooters in Macon closes its doors

Hooters off of Riverside Drive permanently closed its doors.

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – There’s one less place to order some wings in Macon this week. This comes after Hooters off of Riverside Drive permanently closed its doors.

The restaurant chain made the decision to close the location over the weekend.

Hooters sent this statement:

“Like many restaurants under pressure from current market conditions, Hooters has made the difficult decision to close a select number of underperforming stores. Ensuring the well-being of our staff is our priority in these rare instances. With new Hooters restaurants opening domestically and internationally, new Hooters frozen products launching at grocery stores, and the Hooters footprint expanding into new markets with both company and franchise locations, this brand of 41 years remains highly resilient and relevant. We look forward to continuing to serve our guests at home, on the go and at our restaurants here in the U.S. and around the globe.”

41NBC asked what this means for employees and what can they do during the transition. We did not get an answer.
