Twin Peaks on Facebook Twin Peaks markets itself as a racier version of Hooters. Twin Peaks is the fastest-growing restaurant chain in America.

The chain, which prides itself on being a racier version of Hooters, has 57 locations, writes Devin Leonard at Bloomberg Businessweek.

With $165 million in sales last year, it's the fastest-growing chain in the U.S., according to Leonard.

CEO Randy DeWitt credits his attractive, young waitresses with the chain's epic success.

Staff are vigorously judged on appearance.

"The women get points for hair, makeup, slenderness, and the cleanliness of their uniforms: fur-lined boots, khaki hot pants, and skimpy plaid tops that accentuate their cleavage," Leonard writes.

Twin Peaks on Facebook Twin Peaks serves American food like wings, burgers, and pot roast.

Waitresses are expected to "beguile the mostly male customers, flirting to get them to empty their wallets," Leonard writes.

In addition to menu items with tongue-and-cheek names like "well-built sandwiches," the chain pushes its extensive beer selection.

According to the Twin Peaks website, there are 16 beers on tap.

The chain also has frequent promotions for holidays and sporting events.
