In April 2024 we learned that the company was considering bankruptcy after substantial monetary losses due to the pandemic, labor costs, and all-you-can-eat shrimp.

Unfortunately, Red Lobster did indeed announce the closing of close to 50 locations. As mentioned above, only one Michigan location (as of now), was named.

Reports indicate, that Red Lobster in Fort Gratiot will be closing.

Equipment at all 48 closing Red Lobster locations will be auctioned off online on Thursday, May 16th, 2024.
