A Hooters restaurant opened Monday on Rosedale Highway after being delayed several months.
General manager Teejay Scharf said Bakersfield is a perfect location for Hooters because of its demographics and the size of the population.
Scharf said Hooters restaurants are thriving even in the current economy because prices are reasonable and they offer value. He pointed out that there are 30 menu items under $10.
"We consider ourselves a restaurant first, a bar second, and sports third," Scharf said.
The opening created 135 jobs, Scharf said.
Hooters is billed as a neighborhood restaurant. There are 450 Hooters locations in 43 states and 26 other countries, according to the company Web site.
The restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday. It is located at 4208 Rosedale Highway.
