Hooters in Shanghai
As I said earlier a Hooters opened nearby in the Super Brand Mall at the Pudong Bund. I visited it today and it is really interesting - so American but still very Chinese...
So after McDonalds, KFC, PizzaHut, Papa Johns and many other US-Chains finally Hooters is trying to get a bigger share of the market.
It is quite difficult to find it when you go there for the first time - it is on the Bund side of the Super Brand Mall. There is no entrance from inside the mall and there is not any sign (at least I didn't see any). You can easily access it from outside, because they have a direct entrance. You won't get lost searching for it inside the Mall. This happens sometimes to me when I want to visit McDonalds or something else. You can see the shop but the escalators are going in completely different directions...
Whatever - here are three pictures:



Quite nice and big and the prices are OK (.3 l tap beer from 35 RMB on) and the burger is big. It was quite empty when I got there and it didn't get busy later - seems not many people know it is there. So the Hooters Girls were not very busy...
Edit: Their English names are quite interesting - "Hero", "Summer", "Winter" and of course "Jenny". But I totally forgot "Pinky" - she gave me the check. This name reminds me of the comic series "Pinky and the Brain". :-)
Next door "Element Fresh" will open another outlet after several outlets in Shanghai:

They are both not inside the mall so no need to go into this thing - which is very good.
