LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) – After 25 years in business, the Hooters location in Lafayette has unexpectedly shutdown. According to multiple online news sources and social media accounts, the front door of the Ambassador Caffery restaurant greeted customers with a sign simply saying, “Hooters is closed. Thank you Lafayette for a great 25 years.” With no prior announcement to patrons or employees, the reasons behind the closure leave many people wondering.

Former Hooters employee Gracie Courville says it came as a shock to everyone who worked there. “I got the call from my manager this morning. He had said, hooters has closed down and we all had no idea,” said Courville.

She says it’s heartbreaking to know everyone who worked there is now looking for another job, or will have to file unemployment due to them not being given a heads up. Courville describes the closing as extremely disappointing. “You know, there’s people here that have children, that have been here for over ten years and it’s just really disappointing,” said Courville. “And with such a short notice, you know, it’s it’s really heartbreaking and disappointing and especially as a company to tonight let us know, you know, prior and our managers, even not even knowing, it’s it’s really disappointing.”” With signs on its front door saying “Hooters is closed. Thank you Lafayette for a great 25 years,” not only comes as a shock to its employees, but also the community. “I think the whole community is shook as well because, you know, usually I feel like when a place closes down, there might be prior acknowledgment about it. But with this place, it was just like that,” Courville explained.
