Red Lobster to close 23 restaurants within days — here’s where they are
Red Lobster is exercising its right to reject leases at locations it says are unprofitable, according to an Aug. 22 court filing.
The seafood restaurant chain's May 19 Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing prior to the closure of about 100 restaurants sparked nationwide speculation about whether the company would fold.
Now, another 23 restaurants will close and be vacated by Aug. 31.
The list of restaurants headed for closure names locations in more than a dozen states, including three in Florida — in Fort Walton Beach, Pensacola and Port Richey.
