Sushi Restaurant In Manchester — A Former Hooters — In Midst Of 'Soft Opening'

MANCHESTER, CT — Manchester's newest sushi restaurant is in the midst of a week-long "soft opening."

A placard was posted on the door of Shogun X Sushi announcing the schedule.

Shogun X Sushi is a conveyor belt style sushi restaurant that is taking the place of a Hooters that once stood at 1483 Pleasant Valley Road in Manchester's Buckland Hills commercial district.

In July, 2024 the Manchester location was one of several Hooters restaurants that abruptly closed following a lunchtime announcement on social media.

A Facebook page message said, "After nearly two decades of hot wings, cold beer, and great memories Hooters of Manchester has made the difficult decision to close its doors. Thank you for the many years of patronage and loyalty. We encourage you to visit your favorite Hooters Girl at Hooters of Wethersfield or Hooters of West Springfield."

The Wethersfield restaurant has since closed, leaving Connecticut devoid of Hooters.
