His first store opened in Florida 1983, from there with invertors help Hooters hit the main stream. In 1984 the franchise began and Hooters is what
it is now today. Being a very wealthy also gave his money for good needs. For Brooks there is no seen reason why there would be a murder, further
investigation will show how he died. An autopsy will also be performed Monday hopefully to show any other characteristics of the death.
This man here was a good man, and with the giving the world Hooters, some of Hooters went with him as he has died, but no bad news on that Hooters
will ever close. There will just a mourning for the loss of a great man and entrepreneur.
