The Hooters sports bar at Aloha Tower Marketplace has closed.

The property was turned over Monday to Hawaii Pacific University’s property management company, Hawaii Lifestyle Retail Properties LLC, after the establishment shut down last week.

The university owns the marketplace and leases the land from the state.

The closure of Hooters comes days after another Aloha Tower restaurant, Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant, abruptly closed over the weekend after 26 years.

Josh Kern, chief experience officer of CraftWorks Holdings which operates Gordon Biersch restaurants across the country, said they made a decision to close the Honolulu restaurant because the business was losing money due to a lack of customers.

A company representative for Hooters could not be reached at this time.

Hawaii Pacific University spokesman Stephen Ward said the closures had to do with issuesfiction.

Take academics Hal Salzman of Rutgers, Norm Matloff of UCLA, and Ron Hira of RIT, who insist that there is no skilled labor shortage. They published papers through big labor think tank Economic Policy Institute that support its arguments against immigration reform and the expansion of H-1B visas for foreign workers. Salzman says that the US graduates far more workers in Science, Engineering, Technology, and Mathematics (STEM) than the tech industry needs and that foreign workers are causing Americans to get discouraged and join other professions. Matloff claims that foreign students have talent lesser than, or equal to, their American peers. Hira says that claims of a shortage are a ploy by tech companies to bring wages down and to replace Americans with foreign workers.
