St. Petersburg Hooters Keeps Remnants Of Pepin Restaurant On Fourth Street N

Tampabay.com:

Three months from now, when Hooters opens in place of Pepin Restaurant on Fourth Street N, it’s doubtful anyone will recognize the former Spanish eatery.

In place of the cream-colored stucco building with a barrel-tile roof and faux plants painted on windowless walls, a sleek white, black and orange structure will emerge that is something of a cross between South Beach chic and a Steak n Shake.

Hooters, which will cost about $3 million to build, will have patio seating and an inside and outside bar.

“We are on schedule for a September opening,” said Brett Heidel, the restaurant’s project manager with Hawkeye Construction. About 20 people are working on the construction site.
