“I am very fortunate to work for such a great company. The resiliency of a brand that has been around for almost 40 years is nothing short of remarkable in an industry with such a high failure rate. I’m looking forward to the continued growth within the Hooters brand, but also with diversification into other concepts to help strengthen the company as we move into the future,” said Weatherilt.
