Hulkamania is coming for Hooters, or at least it’s trying to.
In this week’s episode of the Restaurant Business podcast The Week in Restaurants, we discuss news that Hulk Hogan’s Real American Beer Brand is making a play to buy Hooters out of bankruptcy. We discuss whether this is real or a stunt and whether it has a chance at success.
Yum Brands, the owner of Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut, named Chris Turner its new CEO. We talk about that move and what it means for the company.
Convenience stores, meanwhile, are making real inroads into the fast-food world with their menu offerings and value deals. We talk about whether this is a cause in the sector’s sales weakness.
In addition, this week’s Tech Check Segment focuses on the growing power of DoorDash.
