Red Lobster Closing Locations: A Comprehensive Guide
Massive Closures in the Works
Roughly two dozen more Red Lobster restaurants are slated to close as part of the seafood chain's ongoing bankruptcy proceedings.
This latest round of closures follows the abrupt shuttering of 48 locations across the United States, including three in New York.
Red Lobster's Aim: Reduce Footprint
Red Lobster's parent company, Red Lobster Holdings, filed for bankruptcy in October 2020 and has since identified several dozen more restaurants for potential closure.
The move is part of the company's plan to reduce its footprint and focus on more profitable locations.
