Red Lobster, a beloved seafood chain, may be forced to shut down multiple locations after filing for bankruptcy in the previous month. The company has identified more than 130 locations that could potentially close down if their lease renegotiations do not yield the desired results, as per bankruptcy court documents.
According to filings, if current situations persist, these locations are expected to “continue to drive losses.” This update was initially reported by Restaurant Business Online. The list of affected locations stretches across 31 states and covers even the Times Square branch. Despite the landlord’s plan to double the yearly rent to $2.2 million, attempts are underway to keep the Times Square location operational, as per The New York Post.
Red Lobster has not yet announced any further store closures. The Florida-based seafood chain, renowned for its popcorn shrimp and unlimited seafood offers, has been struggling with rising lease and labor expenses in recent times. Although the company has filed for bankruptcy, it has reassured its customers that it is not shutting down in a statement issued a few days later.
