Episode notes
Hooters Airline
- Hooters, known for its waitresses and wings, filed for bankruptcy but the founders plan to buy it back.
- They previously experimented with a Hooters Airline, casino, and energy drink.
3% Innovation
- Hooters' initial success stemmed from a 3% change to the established sports bar model: the waitresses.
- Their over-experimentation with casinos and airlines strayed too far from this winning formula.
Canada's Housing Plan
- Canada plans to double its annual home production using a World War II-era plan focusing on factory-built housing.
- This is similar to Levittown, New York's post-war solution.
