Leesburg – Red Lobster announced it is closing several locations across the United States this week after it announced weeks ago the company was filing for bankruptcy.
Bloomberg reported in April that the restaurant was heavily considering Chapter 11 bankruptcy to renegotiate some leases and address other long-term contracts and rising labor costs.
This week, Liquidator TAGeX Brands announced it is holding one of the largest online restaurant auctions ever held due to Red Lobster restaurants closing in 21 states, including Florida.
The auctions run through Thursday and include fixtures, furniture, and kitchen equipment.
