From "The Globalization Chronicles"

Hooters, after years of struggle, is coming to Prague. It will be interesting to see how successful this is. There's no doubt that Czech Republic is a more liberal country than the US is, though, as the Prague Post points out, it is a question whether or not Czechs will visit the chicken-wing paradise when they can see women with much less on in many places throughout the city. It's probably quite clear that British "stag parties" will be happy to go and sample things from Hooters' menu, but not so clear whether there will be a regular clientele outside of this. Your correspondent once visited an ersatz Hooters called "Rooster" in Kraków, Poland, however, and business there seemed to be bustling (and busty). On the other hand, Czech society is quite different its Polish counterpart in this department, and so perhaps the comparison is inapt.

This brings up the interesting topic of what American exports survive in Czech Republic. McDonald's and KFC are fixtures, particularly in downtown parts of the cities, and the first Burger King recently opened at Prague's main train station. TGI Friday's, for reasons completely foreign to me, has two locations in Prague, both undoubtedly as awful in Czech Republic as they are in America, and Subway has a shop in Malá strana. Tragically, Little Caesar's closed the last of its outlets last year, and Dunkin' Donuts, which once graced Václavské náměstí in Prague, seems to be gone as well. So who can say?

Of course, Hooters is a bit different than these other eateries, so whatever makes or breaks Hooters, it is doubtful that the food will be the top concern. Given its location on Vodičkova Street, foreigners will have little trouble finding it, and it's likely that there will be little problem with "casting" and hiring waitresses. We shall see. In the meantime, those of you who want a birthday party to remember now have a Prague option.
