The Hooters location in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, is set to close after announcing the decision in a May 27th social media post.

The restaurant thanked the Shrewsbury community, its guests, team members and Hooters girls for their years of support, memories, and loyalty.

No exact closing date was announced for the Shrewsbury location.

The closure would leave three Hooters restaurants in New England, all in Massachusetts, with locations in Saugus, West Springfield, and Dedham.

The announcement comes as Hooters says it is working to make its restaurants more welcoming to families, couples, and everyday diners.

CEO Neil Kiefer said the brand had drifted too far from its original beach bar concept, and the company has started bringing back older uniform styles as part of a broader image reset.
