Russia: Moscow's first Hooters creates cleavage
Russia's first Hooters restaurant opened its doors in Moscow Saturday, at a "VIP" party attended by members of Moscow society and hosted by 80 of the waitresses Hooters is famous for. The restaurant was partially brought to Russia by NBA basketball star Andrei Kirilenko, who appeared at the party via Skype.
Hooters' Moscow location can fit up to 170 customers inside, and offers 40 high-definition televisions for visitors along with the chicken wings it is famous for. It is the first of five locations planned to be opened in Russia in the near future.
Despite tensions between the U.S. and Russia, Andre Thome, the Head of Market Development for Hooters throughout Europe, Russia and Africa, said that he didn't think the political climate would affect business, as he believes people enjoy eating out no matter what culture they come from.
Hooters Moscow will open to the general public Monday, April 28.
