Hooters is based in Atlanta.

It is based in Atlanta but it was founded in Clearwater Fl.

Actually, there are two separate Hooters entities. Hooters Inc. maintains control of restaurants in Chicago, NYC, and the greater Tampa Bay area, and still operates out of offices in Clearwater, Florida. The second, Hooters of America, Inc. operates all other Hooters locations and is based in Atlanta, Georgia.

Not sure about how they came up with this, but Kentucky = Lexmark? As a native, I'm pretty sure KFC and/or the bourbon industry (Makers Mark, Jim Beam, etc) would like to have a word with you. ;D

That one is bad. It is funny about Hooters here but Disney is the more appropriate choice.
