Anytime someone talks about a business closing locations these days I just google the name and “private equity” and you’re not gonna believe it but…

Erick Erickson tweet: The Hooters in Gainesville, FL closed permanently today. If that one can't survive Biden's economy, none can.

Even without how wrong he is over causes, this just makes no sense. I think EE just wanted to write "Hooters."

Covid derailed their 2 year strip it for parts, leverage to the hilt, take out all cash, and 🤷‍♂️. Amazing how many businesses private equity can’t run after 2 years. I guess that’s why mission statements went out. The intent is arson, Good Fellas style.

The Hooters nearest to me closed during the Trump administration. It was also in a rat infested economically depressed area. Not sure what the President is supposed to do about that.
