But according to Bloomberg Businessweek, CEO Terry Marks believes that by tweaking the menu with more salads and fresher ingredients, lightening up the beach shack decor, and adding space for a bit of nightlife, the company can at least make its franchises an acceptable destination for more wives and girlfriends.

Yeah, the reason women don't frequent Hooters is because we all want fucking salads. So we can, y'know, stay slim and trim and be just like those Hooters girls.

No, no... it's about them not having SALAD on the menu.
