Popular Greenfield restaurant will close at 11 p.m. Sunday after 15 years in a busy shopping corridor.

Hooters Closing this Weekend

The popular Greenfield restaurant will close for good Sunday, July 22, 2012.

For the second time in as many years, Greenfield will be losing a landmark restaurant. After 15 years of serving up hot wings to sports enthusiasts, waitresses at Hooters will be putting away their short shorts and tight tanktops for good as the popular sports bar and grill closes Sunday. Greenfield Patch reported last month the restaurant was rumored to be closing this summer, and on Friday, an employee confirmed this weekend was Hooters' last. The restaurant, which holds a special place in sports enthusiasts' heart because of its ties to the late NASCAR great Alan Kulwicki, is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.
