Mike McNeil, spokesman for restaurant franchise Hooters, recently announced plans for a new location in Israel. Hooters said in a press statement that it had reached a franchise agreement with Llana and Ofer Ahiraz of Israel to open the first restaurant in Tel Aviv later this year. The Atlanta-based eatery, best known for their chicken wings and skimpily dressed severs, has not made public any plans to set up restaurants in other middle eastern countries but have mentioned that they hope to eventually expand into other additional regions of Israel. McNeil told a local New York newspaper that the new restaurant will be “identical to what you’re going to see in the United States—the same uniform for the girls, chicken wings and burgers”. Hooters also stated it will consider kosher fare if so suggested by the Israelis.
