As we previously reported Red Lobster the popular seafood restaurant chain known for making shrimp and lobster affordable for middle-class customers, has declared bankruptcy despite its global success.
The company revealed that it had over $1 billion in debt and only $30 million in cash available. To address this financial strain, it intends to sell the business to its creditors and secure funding to remain operational. As part of this plan, they will continue to shut down restaurants.
Red Lobster, famous for its delicious cheddar bay biscuits, crab legs, and shrimp meals, expanded across the United States in the 1980s and 1990s. The chain experienced a significant boost in sales after Beyoncé mentioned Red Lobster in her song “Formation” in 2016, describing taking a romantic partner to the restaurant.
