At least seven other Red Lobster restaurants have closed since the company filed for bankruptcy two months ago, according to the company’s website.

The seven locations are spread across six states, with two restaurants closing in Florida and one each in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado and Texas. The recently closed locations are as follows:

Red Lobster filed for bankruptcy on May 19 after closing dozens of locations and announcing plans to “implement operational improvements” by simplifying the business. Documents later filed in federal court revealed that the bankruptcy was largely due to significant debt, a CEO carousel, an all-you-can-eat shrimp fiasco and a 30% drop in guests since 2019.

More than 100 Red Lobster locations now closed

As of May 22, the company’s website listed 99 closed locations in 28 states, some of which had auctioned off their kitchen equipment on an online restaurant liquidator. The seven recently closed locations bring the total number of closed locations to at least 106.

In early June, the company disclosed in bankruptcy filings a list of 228 rejected leases that it said would continue to lose money if it continued to operate as it was. That list included at least some of the restaurants it had already closed, according to Restaurant Business, meaning the company was at risk of closing an additional 129 restaurants.

On Monday, a stalking horse bidder known as RL Purchaser LLC, a newly formed entity organized and controlled by Fortress Credit Corporation, filed court papers in the Middle District of Florida in Orlando seeking to become the new owner of Red Lobster.

RL Purchaser LLC, which consists of Red Lobster’s lenders, offered $376 million to acquire the company’s remaining assets, the Orlando Business Journal reported.

Red Lobster would be Fortress’ latest acquisition of a company that was in bankruptcy, following its purchase of Vice Media and Alamo Drafthouse, which was later sold to Sony Pictures Entertainment, Reuters reported.

USA TODAY reached out to Red Lobster and its attorneys for comment Tuesday but has not yet received a response. Fortress declined to comment Tuesday.
