YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - A popular chain restaurant and sports bar in Yuma announced it will be permanently closing its doors.

Hooters Yuma announced, via social media, they will officially close on Sunday, August 10. The restaurant has been operating in the Yuma Palms Mall since September of 2016.

They say the closure is due to lasting impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, steep competition, and record high inflation and costs.

The restaurant played host to many local events and fundraisers and thanks the Yuma community for their support.

Current employees will have the option to apply at other chain locations.
