Where does it say they are closing?

A Ch 11 restructure isn't a 13.

Brutally tough, low margin business with very little margin for error.  Most of the mid-tier chains are struggling.  That said it was mom's favorite place.  I didn't mind it, not my first choice, but not my last.

Red Lobster clientele moved on to Beni Hana anyway

The only good thing about Red Lobster is when you see the sign it’s usually close to a better restaurant. Red Lobster sucks.

I don’t like fish though so I may be biased.

Without going on a tangent, I get a lot of amusement from Facebook by keeping high school friends. One was texted by management this morning that the local franchise is closed and she no longer has a job.

So naturally she posted about it, leading me to google for a citation then passing along the relevant news to the class(GD).

The greed around the rent for business I feel has taken the largest toll. Mall space rent is one, along with individual properties a close second. Sure hourly wages have really hit these businesses, but a little bit of rent and tax breaks would cure these closings.

When you have mall space rent that is over $10,000 per month on many stores, how do you stay in business?

It all started with the endless crab legs back in the day. IIRC caused some of the higher ups to resign.
Their food turned into reheated garbage and went flying down hill since.

Last time I ate there was about 10 years ago and it was disgusting then. It's the TRH of seafood.

Dry mix from Amazon.
Seal it in mylar with an oxygen absorber and it's good for years.

Red Lobster was never that bad IMO but Cheddar fucking bay biscuits are my favorite.  

Hopefully they still sell the mix in the stores.

Probably will still sell the mix.
IIRC the Chi-chi’s sauce/salsa was still sold decades after the last restaurant closed.

Made some of those for my kids the other day. They're as good as the restaurant's.

Last endless shrimp I indulged in at RL

The waitress took longer and longer to bring out more shrimp.

Pretty sure that was covert strategy to bounce me out of there. No pun intended.
