Big Beaver Demands Small Hooters

Source:  Troy council to consider settling lawsuit filed by Hooters restaurants

Excerpt:

The Troy City Council is expected to decide Monday whether to sign an agreement, which — if approved by Hooters restaurants and a U.S. District Court — would settle a $1-million lawsuit between the city and the restaurant chain.

City Attorney Lori Grigg Bluhm said Friday that the agreement would allow Hooters of America Inc. to get the liquor license transfer it has sought, but would require the restaurant to minimize its signage on the building….

…Council members have said that the restaurant does not fit the image they want to project along the Big Beaver corridor. That may still be an issue come Monday’s meeting, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at City Hall, 500 W. Big Beaver.
