Popular Food Chain Is Closing Over 99 Locations

Bidenomics is in full effect.

Red Lobster, a popular seafood chain, has announced it will be closing over 99 locations.

The announcemnet was made by Neal Sherman, founder and CEO of TAGeX Brands, who announced he is leading the closure over 50 locations of Red lobsters.

The closure of Red Lobster comes due to the chain facing significant debt, unfavorable lease terms, and its all you can eat shrimp promotion backfired.

Biden’s Build Back Better.

Per NBC News:

At least 99 locations of Red Lobster are being auctioned off amid questions about the stalwart seafood chain’s long-term future.

In a post Monday on LinkedIn, Neal Sherman, founder and CEO of TAGeX Brands, a liquidation firm, announced he was leading the closure of more than 50 Red Lobster locations, with the restaurants’ equipment to be auctioned off.

A web page dedicated to the liquidations showed closure locations across the U.S. including in Denver; Indianapolis; Rochester, New York; Sacramento, California; San Antonio; and San Diego.

On Tuesday, Restaurant Business Magazine reported 99 locations were closing.

The closures represent about 15% of the company’s approximately 700 locations, though it remains the largest seafood restaurant chain in the U.S.

Red Lobster has struggled with a significant debt load, unfavorable lease terms, executive turnover and ill-advised strategies including an all-you-can-eat-shrimp promotion last fall that resulted in a significant loss for the company.
