With Red Lobster having announced that they will be closing many of their locations and filing for bankruptcy, we compiled a comprehensive list of which stores, exactly, are closing.
As of this writing, nearly 100 of their restaurants are closed, with over 40 of them very likely closed permanently. Those locations have already auctioned off equipment. It’s worth noting that 547 locations are still open.
The others that are closed right now are with some uncertainty as to whether they will reopen in the future. Red Lobster immediately shut down those particular locations, listing them as temporarily closed, but have not auctioned off equipment and have not yet decided if they will reopen.
The locations in the list we compiled below are alphabetical by state.
If listed as “Closed” then the location is one to have already auctioned off equipment.
If listed as “At least temporarily closed” then the location is closed right now as per the locations guide on the Red Lobster website, though it is possible they may reopen.
