Leaving aside that this thread was started by "Member1" (that alone has me LMAO! ), I don't see any way this concept succeeds.

Walking around in a thong is cold, cold causes "shrinkage" , Shrinkage eliminates the reason women would come to check it out.

I guess they could play the Swallows "It Ain't the Meat, It's the Motion" and all the various remakes during business hours to compensate for the cold...

I don't see anything wrong with the waiters judging by the photo in the link. There used to be a Hooter's next door to my job, and I don't think anyone ate there more than once because the over-priced food, and the service, were pretty crappy. And it didn't stick around for more than a couple of years before it closed.

I have a feeling you are right. Anyone remember Chippendales? Although popular for bachelorette parties for a bit, it no longer exists for a reason. Times have changed though, maybe now in 2015-2016, with more and more people being openly gay, it has a second chance as a viable industry.

Heterosexual women might go for an occasional bit of eye-candy, but traditionally we arent as visually oriented as men.

And the towels? Something about that is just off-putting as it relates to food.

The most popular drink will be the banana daiquiri.

Did you guys see RonnieInDallas' post? He said it's been packed since opening, mostly straight people and even some with kids. This is not a stripper bar anymore than Hooter's is.

Eh, we'll see how it's doing in a year when the novelty's worn off.

Wow! Just saw a piece on this on Today...one is hotter than the next! They lift their shirts to show the specials, lol. Place still packed. I think it'll continue to do well because it's in a tourist area. If it's always new people, there is no novelty to wear off. I don't think it was ever meant for locals as competition for Olive Garden or anything.

Everybody's money is green. I assume they don't care.
