How will Hulk Hogan's death affect the future of Hooters?
Briefly

Hulk Hogan, known as Terry Bollea, passed away recently, impacting the future of Hooters' acquisition by his Real American Beer brand. The bid to purchase Hooters included attempting to acquire all locations globally, following Hooters' bankruptcy filing that led to numerous closures. Real American Beer aimed to revitalize Hooters with a new operational model and revenue streams, positioning itself against Hooters Inc.'s competing bid. Approval of the acquisition would require establishing a separate entity due to U.S. liquor laws prohibiting alcohol brands from owning restaurants.
Real American Beer found itself in competition with a proposal led by Hooters Inc., which oversees some franchised Hooters locations. The company's cofounder was a part of that group.
Real American's bid is different. It's about rebuilding Hooters from the ground up, with a fresh operational model, new revenue streams, and a cultural strategy designed to reengage diners in their 20s and 30s.
