ORLANDO, Fla. – Red Lobster has closed several locations across the U.S. in the weeks after it announced it was considering filing for bankruptcy protection due to financial pressures. The list of locations on the restaurant chain’s website has been updated to reflect the locations that have closed its doors, albeit it’s unclear at this time if these closures are permanent.

Bloomberg reported on Red Lobster’s potential bankruptcy filing back in April. At the time, discussions about restructuring were ongoing and no final decision about a bankruptcy filing had been made.

This week, however, restaurant liquidator TAGeX Brands announced it would be hosting online auctions for several Red Lobster locations, including those shuttered in Florida. The auctions include fixtures, furniture and equipment, and run through Thursday.

TAGeX said it’s “the largest restaurant equipment auction ever” on its website.

Why is Red Lobster closing?

Red Lobster made headlines in 2023 after one of its executives revealed the restaurant group suffered an $11.3 million loss, and that the chain’s popular “Ultimate Endless Shrimp” promo was to blame.

Bloomberg reported in April that Red Lobster was being advised by law firm King & Spalding on the potential bankruptcy filing, which came about to help relieve various financial pressures that have weighed on the company.
