- Real American Beer intends to revitalize Hooters by expanding its offerings into merchandise, online media, interactive entertainment, and other experiences to attract younger consumers while maintaining the brand's distinctly American character.
- Hooters, founded in Clearwater, Florida—Hogan's hometown—is known for its wings and trademark servers and continues operation during bankruptcy restructuring.
