Hooters Orange a Thing of the Past

David Ross, owner of Dr. Dawg, changed the color scheme on the exterior of the former Hooters restaurant.

The owner of Dr. Dawg wasted no time removing the last remaining distinguishable marker from the former Hooters restaurant site.

Just days after receiving Common Council approval to make some changes to the Hooters, 7700 W. Layton Ave., David Ross paved the restaurant's parking lot and painted over the recognizable "Hooters orange" exterior with red this week.

The Chicago-style hot dog and Italian beef restaurant could open around the end of the year, five months after Hooters closed.
