Having made a fortune off bare-breasted women, "Girls Gone Wild" founder is setting his sights on selling another type of breast.

A restaurant chain under the "Girls Gone Wild" brand name is being planned by Joe Francis, whose Mantra Films Inc.'s has built a $100 million business videotaping and selling the DVDs featuring young women exposing their breasts.

"This is going to be about fun, lifestyle, youth, sun. It's about everything 'Girls Gone Wild,"' Francis said. "It's going to be sexy without being sexual."

There will be no stripping, topless waitresses or filming in the restaurants, Francis said.

The first two restaurants are expected to open by mid-summer in Mexican beach towns Cabo San Lucas and Cancun. Francis sees franchises popping up mainly in college towns in the United States and around the world.

He said "Girls Gone Wild" restaurants will appeal to women who want to feel sexy, exiting and edgy.

Guys will turn out because "guys are always there, panting," he joked.

And he is not stopping at restaurants. Francis and Mantra plan a line of women's apparel including casual wear, lounge wear and swimwear that will be in stores by April 30.

Theme restaurants have been around for years. U.S. restaurant chain Hooters is based on the idea that waitresses in tight T-shirts and short shorts will lure patrons. Theme restaurants, in turn, sell a lot of apparel.

Mantra produces roughly 80 "Girls Gone Wild" DVDs a year, and is expanding to the United Kingdom, Australia and France.

Francis said Mantra holds roughly 700 special events and parties each year in bars and restaurants to videotape patrons going wild, drinking alcohol and, of course, exposing breasts.

I support themed restaurants like this.

Stimor · 03-30-2007, 05:21 PM

so do i! but, as mentioned by one: with fire

*Cure* · 03-30-2007, 06:53 PM

As long as wings aren't the only things worth buying on the menu, I'm in.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 03-30-2007, 09:01 PM

this is something the women of this forum won't take too lightly. Still as a man, this pleases us, doesn't it?

But I have never stepped foot in a restraunt themed like this.. Not even Hooters even if I have drove by it many many times.

*Anarky* · 03-30-2007, 09:07 PM

Tell you what, if the food's as good as it is in Hooters, then I'm a regular in my nearest GGW-place. If I want naked women, I'll go to a strip club, for food, I go wherever they serve good stuff. Sure, naked women are a nice extra, but I'm not going to chow on disgusting stuff just to see nudity.

I'd be careful with assumptions and, another one of your favourites, percentages. Sure, you might be right with this one, but generally... just be careful.

ok I will.

*Spike Spiegel* · 03-31-2007, 10:23 AM

Wow. I can can see why it's a good business idea, but there is something to be said for morals here.

~~LogicDonny~~ · 03-31-2007, 12:45 PM

does anyone here actually watch those girls gone wild?

I watched it a couple times. disgusted and turned it off. Men taking advantage of drunk girls showing boobies is wrong.

*Drtooth* · 03-31-2007, 03:34 PM

Being a lonley guy I don't think seeing women I'd have no chance in shell with in a place that serves food is a good idea... That's why I stay away from places like that. Otherwise, well... you do the math.

Anyway, all I can see is "Hooters lawsuit" plastered all over the place.

BTW, I kinda think it's hypocritical that women complain about places like that, and would still go to Chippendales or something like that. It's the same bullcrap.

*Mr. Snackpants* · 03-31-2007, 04:58 PM

If theres ever one built near me I...won't go

The food will be terrible, just like Hooters. I've been to Hooters twice and left with a bad taste in my mouth, literally. The wings are overrated and extremely greasy. Everything is terribly greasy, actually. The only reason I can see anyone going there is for a game, but the best place for that is B Dubs.

...I'mma go work there.

**Jo Dawn** · 04-04-2007, 10:31 AM

Honestly, those videos... Not that I've seen one, mind you. But it cracks me up when the girl's on them sue.

Like, honey... if you weren't an idiot who got so drunk and easy you couldn't keep your shirt on, it's your own fault.

****ing signed. I think many of them use "I was drunk!' as an excuse to get away with crap like that.
