The Hoover Restaurant Alliance and Hoover Area Chamber of Commerce are partnering to promote Hoover restaurants during the nine-day period of July 23-31 by declaring it Hoover Restaurant Week.

About 40 restaurants have signed up to be part of the event by offering specials during that week and donating a portion of proceeds to the Hoover Helps nonprofit that provides food for children deemed “food insecure.”

“We are just really excited,” said David Cohen, the owner of The Whole Scoop ice cream shop at The Village at Brock’s Gap and founder of the Hoover Restaurant Alliance.

There are about 200 restaurants in Hoover, including a variety of chain and independent restaurateurs, that provide a great selection of good food, Cohen said. They work very hard to provide good food and service to the community, and sometimes — especially for the independent restaurants — it’s easy for the owners to feel alone, he said.

This is a good opportunity for people in the community to show support for the city’s restaurants and help the industry prosper, Cohen said. It’s a tough time right now with the labor shortage, which has caused some restaurants to have to cut back on their hours, he said.

The Hoover Restaurant Alliance and Hoover Area Chamber of Commerce are encouraging people to make a special effort to eat out in Hoover over these nine days and invite friends and loved ones to eat out with them.

Restaurants that have agreed to be part of the promotional week by offering specials and donating a portion of proceeds to Hoover Helps include:
