The Hooters at 1390 South Colorado Boulevard — not just the first Hooters in Denver, but the first Hooters this side of the Mississippi — is closing on Friday.
The breastaurant moved into this former White Spot (not Village Inn — sorry, Steveville) space in 1989, and now the landlord wants to completely redo the property, so Hooters must go. The franchise owners are currently looking for another location in the metro area.

And meanwhile, people across town are mourning. People like Rusty, for example, who says:
When news happens, Westword is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $50,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community. If Westword matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Ordinarily, I’d applaud this – except for the two Twin Peaks, one Tilted Kilt and probably one more Earl’s that will pop up across Denver in its place.
Yes, breastaurants are on the move. See our graphic guide to them, “Breastaurants: America’s greatest export,” here.
