Hooters Opens Restaurant In Conservative China
Chain Began In Florida In 1983
SHANGHAI, China -- The Hooters girls have come to China, orange hot pants and all.
China's first Hooters restaurant opened in Shanghai last October.
The chain began as a Florida beach bar in 1983. It now boasts more than 384 restaurants worldwide.
The waitresses in China wear the same tight outfits as their American counterparts, despite the more conservative outlook of the country.
"Have foreigners seen something like this anywhere else in China? No," said American customer William Ballard. "I think this is the first. I have traveled all over China. ... Anywhere you go, (it's) still very conservative."
