For the second year in a row, seven Hooters locations are partnering with the Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida to help with its annual fundraising efforts. The Girl Scouts will have cookie booths at seven local Hooters locations to support its goal of providing 50,000 boxes of cookies for our brave hometown heroes.

Hooters will match every box sold (up to $15,000) by the Girl Scouts at each of its South Florida Hooters res-taurants Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 4-6.

Proceeds from the cookie sales stay local. The additional boxes purchased by Hooters will be donated to the Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida’s Hometown Hero’s program. In 2021, South Florida Hooters donated $15,000 to the Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida and $15,000 to the Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida.

Participating locations include:

• Hooters of Cape Coral, 3120 Del Prado Blvd., Cape Coral.

• Hooters of Fort Myers, 4411 Cleveland Ave., Fort Myers.

• Hooters of Fort Myers Beach, 1600 Estero Blvd., Fort Myers Beach.
