SPOKANE, WASH. -- Fred Glick, the president of Oceanside, Calif.-based HootWINC LLC, a Hooters operator with 20 locations in four states, said his company plans to open a 6,000-square-foot mini-casino operation called The Owl Club here, according to The Spokesman-Review. Scheduled to debut in July, the casino will adjoin a 6,000-square-foot Hooters unit already under construction, Glick said. Clearwater, Fla.-based Hooters Management Corp., which founded the Hooters brand and operates 21 locations, is partnering with Japanese investors to launch a full-scale casino in Las Vegas in the fall.
