They got rid of Hooter's for this?

I don't know if it was to make it more palatable for sale or what, but the replacement of Hooter's (which was easily within walking distance of my downtown apartment) with TJ Maxx was a bitter enough pill to swallow, now the whole mall is going to be sold, possibly to someone who is pro-Hooters. What a shame...
