SEATTLE — The Hard Rock Cafe in Downtown Seattle is closing its doors.
Hard Rock International confirmed on Monday that the restaurant's last day in business will be on Dec. 1. Sixty-six employees at the location will lose their jobs.
"Since the opening of the Hard Rock Cafe Seattle in 2010, Hard Rock International has enjoyed serving the Seattle community and playing a role in the city's celebrated dining culture," the company wrote in a statement to KING 5, although they did not cite a reason for the closure.
Hard Rock International provided nearly the exact same statement when it closed its Denver and Memphis locations earlier this year.
The company said they are currently expanding operations in 50 locations over the next five years, and are open to having another location in Seattle if the right space can be identified.

The company cited theft and organized retail crime as factoring into the decision to close the two Seattle-area stores as well as seven other locations across four states.
