Candlelight Vigil Planned For Hooters Location Scheduled For Demolition

It's a sad time in the Charleston, West Virginia neighborhood of Kanawha City.  After the pandemic closed the doors of its beloved Hooters, never to re-open, it was announced that the location would be demolished.

With all hope lost that the breastaurant would ever open its doors again, the only thing that can be done has been planned.  You guessed it, a candlelight vigil has been organized ahead of the scheduled demolition.

On Friday, from 6:30-8 pm, folks in the Charleston area will gather for what will truly be a somber event.  They'll be saying goodbye to a Hooters location that they had hoped for several years would return.

Following the demolition, which is scheduled for Feb. 26, the site will become the home to a Sheetz gas station.  The event organizers want to let Hooters know how much the location will be missed.

They announced on Facebook, "Its Finally official.  We have all in one way shape or form been holding on to pure hope that someone would purchase the closed building down that once was the almighty H00ters and reopen it."

"That seems to not be the case.  The building will begin being demoed on Feb 26th. 2024.  With this being said, lets all gather in remembrance of the amazing power that was brought to us all by H00ters with a Candle Light Visual at the Kanawha City Location," the announcement continued.

"Bring your candles and signs and lets let H00ters and the city know we will miss it tremendously.  We will have Chicken wings with the traditional H00ters sauce on site and a limited amount of the GOAT SANDWICH "The Strip Cheese".  Please share and be there, "Every Hour is Happy Hour at H00ters."

There won't be a dry eye on Friday night, that's for sure.  Be thankful that the Hooters location near you is operating and get out and grab some wings this weekend.  Not everyone is so lucky.

I hope the people of Charleston, W. Va., remember what the overreach of the government and the lockdowns took from them.
