Paige Spiranac sends a 4-word message of support as Hooters prepares for bankruptcy

Paige Spiranac is one of the most well-known personalities associated with the game of golf in the world, especially on social media. She is one of the most followed golfing personalities and golfing influencers on Instagram, with over four million followers. Spiranac also has a million followers on X (formerly Twitter), where she shares her unfiltered views on various topics.

Recently, she shared a four-word message for Hooters, a restaurant chain across the United States, as it is reportedly filing for bankruptcy. According to Bloomberg, Hooters is working in tandem with its creditors to file for bankruptcy after closing down 40 of its underperforming stores in 2024.

Reacting to this news, Paige Spiranac said Hooters won't head towards bankruptcy under her watch.

"Not on my watch," Spiranac wrote.

Hooters is based in Atlanta and is owned by private equity firm Nord Bay Capital. The firm is working with creditors to restructure the business through bankruptcy court by filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the coming months.

So, the total number of Hooter outlets could decrease as it enters bankruptcy. But with this, there's a good chance that Hooters may come out on a higher note on the other side.
