Breanne Ashley, a Hooters Girl at the Hooters of Newnan, returned from Last Vegas $50,000 richer after being crowned Miss Hooters International on July 18 at the 11th Annual Hooters International Swimsuit Pageant. She was selected from 129 Hooters Girl contestants that traveled from as far as South Korea to represent the 435 restaurants around the world.

Ashley has been a Hooters Girl at the Newnan location for over 4 years. In that time, she has been featured in Hooters Magazine and the Hooters Calendar as well as in television commercial spots and in network features.

Along with the cash and crown, Ashley also brings home the responsibility to represent Hooters as the quintessential Hooters Girl - the cheerleader, girl next door.

"We are very pleased with the judges' selection," said Beth Taylor, pageant director.

"We know that Breanne will excel as Miss Hooters International 2007. She is beautiful, intelligent and always has a positive attitude."

Hooters of America, Inc. is the franchisor and operator of over 435 Hooters restaurants in 4 states and 22 foreign countries.
