Chinese finally get Hooters
America’s Hooters restaurant chain plans to open its first China outlet in Shanghai on Friday, bringing its racy combination of cold beer, chicken wings and skimpily dressed waitresses to one of the world’s fastest growing economies.
The outlet in the foreigner-friendly Hongqiao district adds to the more than 375 stores now operated by the chain famed for its busty waitresses clad in clingy low-cut tank tops and high-cut shorts _ an image the company describes as “delightfully tacky, yet unrefined.”
A VIP party is scheduled for Friday evening with the store opening to the general public on Sunday.
