Former Portage Hooters to Become Arbor Branch
It came as a surprise to Southwest Michigan wing enthusiasts when Hooters on Westnedge closed their doors for good. It seemed like the barstools went up and the lights dimmed overnight, leaving the storefront standing vacant for six months. People were left wondering what would take it over. A new restaurant, perhaps? Would they knock it down, or would it be an empty eyesore? Welp, few people could have imagined an Arbor Credit Union Branch would take the place of the once saucy spectacle. An official opening date could not be found, but signs around the 5250 S Westnedge Ave, Portage location boast an official "Coming Soon" banner.
I suspect the rustic decor will have to be toned down just a bit. Though I wonder if they'll keep the tights dispensary in the ladies' room...
