In an unexpected move shaking up the restaurant industry, wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, through his company Real American Beer, has made an all-cash bid to acquire the intellectual property of Hooters, the famous American restaurant chain that recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This initiative aims to preserve the brand’s nostalgic identity while modernizing it for a new generation of consumers.
Founded in Clearwater, Florida—Hogan’s hometown—Hooters has faced significant financial challenges leading to its bankruptcy filing earlier in 2025. The restaurant chain’s struggles reflect broader trends in the casual dining sector, compounded by shifting consumer preferences and economic pressures.
Hulk Hogan’s involvement is more than a business play—it’s personal. As a Clearwater native, Hogan shares a hometown connection with Hooters, and the restaurant chain was among the first to serve his Real American Beer after its launch. His brand, which emphasizes patriotism and entertainment, aligns naturally with Hooters’ classic American image.
While the acquisition is subject to court approval and final negotiations, the all-cash offer from Real American Beer presents a unique opportunity to save and reimagine Hooters. If successful, this partnership could signal a new chapter for the brand, focusing less on traditional restaurant operations and more on diversified consumer engagement.
