Hooters has an extensive public relations campaign and has actively supported charities through its Hooters Community Endowment Fund, also known as HOO.C.E.F., a play on UNICEF. It has provided money and/or volunteers to charities such as Habitat for Humanity, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Special Olympics, and Muscular Dystrophy Association.[11] In addition, after the death of Kelly Jo Dowd, a former Hooters Girl on the cover of the Hooters calendar in 1995, and later a restaurant general manager, Hooters began a campaign against breast cancer, with awareness of the issue being spread through the Kelly Joe Dowd Fund. Local restaurants will often select their own local charities.
Hooters also launched what it calls "Operation Let Freedom Wing," which involves sending its celebrities, such as Hooters Calendar Girls, UC3 and singer Angela Lanza, to visit U.S. troops overseas, including to Afghanistan.

Hooters serves indifferent food at inflated prices because they hire young pretty waitresses and dress them in tight outfits for the enjoyment of their mostly male patrons. You can try to argue that that isn't exploiting the fact that men like looking at young womens' bodies, but that doesn't alter the basic reason the business is successful.

They took a hit when their middle linebacker cracked his ACL. If there is a sudden weakness on defense (and their DC just died, God rest his soul he was the best in the NFL), an additional option on offense gets attractive real fast.
