Though they're sorry 39 people have lost their jobs, feminists in Bristol, England, were pleased this week when the local branch of U.S. "breastaurant" chain Hooters closed amid financial troubles, the BBC reports.The company that ran Bristol Hooters, Gallus Management Company Ltd, said the branch was closing due to poor business, mounting debts and a long-running legal dispute with building contractors, according to Blottr.com."The business had never achieved its turnover targets, and in addition had lost a considerable sum following a dispute with contractors engaged to refurbish adjacent premises," a spokesman for Gallus Management told the BBC.
