    This is not new information. It's been talked about for several weeks on youtube. The owners lost tons of money from the ALL YOU CAN EAT SHRIMP deal after it took off on social media way beyond expectations. It was sold at a loss. Then the increase of products prices and the rise in pay, they lost millions in a flash. The company couldn't take the hit.

    That’s a dirty move to their employees. They obviously decided to shut down right after Mother’s Day to make as much money as possible and then shut down to try and recoup every penny they could. For those who don’t know Mother’s Day is the black Friday for restaurants. Always the busiest day of the year. Coincidence, I think not.

    I worked at Red Lobster in central Florida and worked 45 hours last week . I picked up shifts trained a new server whose first solo night serving out of training was the day before on Mothers Day. The store I worked at was literally a big family I had been there 2.5 years V but 4 of my co workers had been there over 30-35 years. Looking for another serving job but this is our slow season so it will be hard to find something for all of us right away. It was such a crappy way to end things where we don’t even get to say goodbye to people we’ve spent more time with than our families some days. It’s devastating to me. I feel hopeful for a new beginning but depressed that I miss everyone so much. Anyone else here get blindsided like this before?

      ​@@yoriyamai4819how many of those were from democrats shutting down cities from covid? Before leaving office Trump had one of the fastest & strongest economic recoveries ever recorded. That was until Biden took office and inflation and supply chain issues stalked it out. Most of Bidens "job growth" has equated to nothing but jobs being recovered from covid.

      The problem with a lot of the seafood in these places is that much of it comes from SE Asia where it is farm raised in not so clean water. The "product" is raised in pens to where disease runs wild, the fish and such are sick and people eat it. Go for wild caught fish at your local market and then cook it yourself.

    I haven’t been to a Red Lobster in quite a few years, but the last time I found out they had changed their recipe for the Coco it Shrimp - it became very spicy and I couldn’t eat it! I was told it had always been that way,which was a lie. I’ll have to drive about 15+ miles and check to see if our nearest location is still open. Still not sure I’ll go,back though!

    Its unfortunate that Red Lobster has gone bankrupt and may close for good as their seafood and biscuits are awesome.
    In fact, when I was in London, Ontario to compete at the 2010 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games, my mom and I went to Red Lobster for supper, and their food was great. The biscuits and shrimp were excellent.
    It was a treat to go to Red Lobster as we don't have in Atlantic Canada.

    Lets face the bigger picture here. These franchise restaurants are all beginning to struggle. They're expensive, the food isn't that great, they're all built near each other around malls, shopping centers and freeway off ramps and they're all corporate owned and operated.
    Meanwhile we're seeing a resurgence of the neighborhood bar & pub which are less like bars and more like restaurants with full kitchens and menus. They're closer, they're priced better, the food is as good or better and they're mostly locally owned.
