Hooters Looking to Return to Bismarck

If you were bummed when Hooters Bismarck closed there doors in 2014, the news - as reported by the Bismarck Tribune that Hooters is looking to have the franchise return to the Capital City will excite you!

Fargo based Sickies Garage now occupies the location in North Bismarck where Hooters once operated.

Hooters is looking for new franchisees in select markets and Bismarck is one of the cities.

If you are looking at obtaining franchisee rights it is a pretty steep price tag with a $75,000 franchise fee and 5% royalties is relatively higher compared to other chain restaurants.

Other requirements include:

• An immediate population of at least 100,000 people, with a daytime population of 15,000 people and strong nighttime activity within 1 mile
• Median population income of $50,000
• Traffic flow of at least 30,000 vehicles per day, with supreme visibility
• Net worth of at least $2.5 million and liquidity of $1.5 million
• Minimum 5 years of multi-unit restaurant management experience

I know the return of Hooters to Bismarck would make many people very happy!
