Hooters — the restaurant chain first known for its orange-clad, all-female wait staff and then its chicken wings — filed for bankruptcy, the company announced Monday. But the decades-old brand said it isn’t going anywhere. In the bankruptcy process, the company plans to sell all of its 100 company-owned restaurants to two franchisee groups that operate Hooters locations in the Tampa, Florida, and Chicago areas. The combined group collectively operates a third of the US franchised-owned locations, according to the press release.[1]

The company said it plans to exit Chapter 11 bankruptcy in “approximately 90-120 days.” “Today’s announcement marks an important milestone in our efforts to reinforce Hooters’ financial foundation and continue delivering the guest-obsessed hospitality experience and delicious food our customers and communities have come to expect,” said Sal Melilli, chief executive officer of Hooters of America in the release. Hooters filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Texas court, a common route for struggling companies hoping to solve their financial problems through reorganization.[2] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.

A real-life incident recently unfolded at a Kopitiam in Seri Kembangan, where a customer shockingly discovered glass shards in their iced coffee. The ordeal was shared in a Serdang community Facebook group, accompanied by photos of the contaminated drink and the police report filed against the establishment.[1]

According to the report, the customer had purchased 5 iced coffees from the kopitiam around 6am on 21 Mar 2025. Upon bringing them home, their child, who was unpacking the drinks, immediately noticed something odd — sharp fragments lurking inside the beverage. To grasp the full extent of the danger, the customer strained the coffee, revealing an alarming pile of glass shards that closely resembled ice cubes. To prove they weren’t mistaken, they even pressed the fragments against the strainer, demonstrating that the pieces were, without a doubt, solid glass.[2]

What made the situation even more unsettling was that some shards were so tiny they settled inconspicuously at the bottom of the glass. Worse still, the contamination wasn’t limited to a single cup — all 5 iced coffees contained glass. The customer attempted to return to the Kopitiam to raise the issue but found it had already closed for the day. Left with no other recourse, they proceeded to file a police report to bring awareness to the matter.[3] And if you have any legal issue in Indonesia territory, contact us for business inquiry, feel free in 24 hour, we will be glad to assist you.
