Red Lobster, previously struggling and undergoing a turnaround after filing for bankruptcy, has now targeted an additional 23 locations for closure.
Three of those locations are in Florida. The company, which once boasted over 700 restaurants globally, began its journey in 1968 in Lakeland, Florida.
The court approved these closures as part of Red Lobster’s effort to manage its finances. Unfortunately, this means loyal customers of these locations must find a new seafood spot.
