At least four locations in Georgia are no longer open as of Wednesday. Customers who call will hear a recorded message saying the restaurant is permanently closed.
The list includes:
- 209 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta, GA
- 6855 Douglas Blvd, Douglasville, GA
- 3550 Gwinnett Pl Dr NW, Duluth, GA

Hooters previously closed some of its underperforming stores last year. In April, the bar restaurant chain filed for bankruptcy.
Channel 2 Action News reached out to Hooters on Thursday and received the following statement.
“After careful consideration of what is needed to best position our company for the future, Hooters made the difficult decision to close certain Company-owned locations in Georgia, effective June 4, 2025. Importantly, Hooters is here to stay, and by optimizing our business in support of our long-term goals, Hooters will be well-positioned to continue our iconic legacy under a pure franchise business model. We are committed to supporting our impacted team members throughout this process and are incredibly grateful to our valued customers for their loyalty and dedication to the Hooters brand.”
