It's been quite a few years, but now a new Hooters restaurant has arrived in Pasco County.

Back in 1988, a Hooters opened in Port Richey. This new addition is located at 16070 State Road 54 and Suncoast Crossings.

Hooters Management Corp. Chief Marketing Officer Denise Williams said, "We are excited for our Odessa Hooters location and look forward to becoming a favorite for avid bikers and runners on the Suncoast Trail and a go-to stop for those living and working in the heart of Pasco County."

I love to see this, because not only do I love Hooters wings, but I love the brand. And I'm just happy to see a restaurant opening and employing people. They've hired about 60 workers to be a part of this store.

This is going to be the spot in Pasco to enjoy delicious Hooters food and you can watch a game on any of the 30 big-screen TVs inside and outside the restaurant. Plus, there is a 22-seat bar and also seating for an additional 124 patrons inside and 46 outside.
