Hooters

In celebration of 43 years of world-famous wings and hospitality, Hooters is rolling out the orange carpet for the women who built the brand. On Sunday, October 4th, every Hooters location across the Lone Star State will host the ultimate reunion - Alumnae Appreciation Day, offering a complimentary meal to former Hooters Girls all day long.

Since opening its original doors in 1983, Hooters has served as a launchpad for more than 450,000 women who have proudly worn the orange shorts. After expanding to Texas in 1989, the brand has grown into a beloved staple across the state. This one-day event serves as both a homecoming and a tribute to the legacy created by its team members over the decades.
With a purchase of a drink, former Hooters Girls dining in on October 4th can select from a curated menu of brand staples:
·10-Piece Traditional Wings
·10-Piece Boneless Wings with Fries
·10-Piece Buffalo Shrimp with Fries
·Hooters Cheeseburger with Fries
·Chicken Caesar Salad
To redeem the offer, alumnae need to present their Alumnae VIP card, Hooters name tag or proof of past employment (such as a pay stub or photo in uniform) upon dining in at any participating Texas location.

"What better way to celebrate our 43rd anniversary than welcoming home the incredible women who built this brand," said Andrea Hill, Executive Vice President of HMC Hospitality Group. "October 4th is about more than just a free meal; it’s a celebration of our legacy. This is the perfect excuse to catch up with old friends, share favorite memories and create new ones. As someone who started my career wearing the orange shorts 25 years ago, I know firsthand how extraordinary the Hooters sisterhood is."

The offer is valid for dine-in only at all Texas Hooters locations on Sunday, October 4th. Restrictions may apply.
