Red Lobster, the iconic seafood restaurant known for its mouthwatering biscuits and endless shrimp, is facing tough times with the closure of multiple locations across the United States. Reports indicate that the chain is considering Chapter 11 bankruptcy, with at least 99 locations shutting their doors abruptly.

Among the hardest hit areas is Florida, where several Red Lobster restaurants have closed. The closure wave is part of a broader trend, with nearly 50 locations shutting down nationwide, including several in Texas.

Analysts suggest that the closures may be a strategic move as the brand navigates financial challenges. The recent announcement by Thai Union, the chain's largest investor, seeking to sell its stake has added to the uncertainty surrounding Red Lobster's future.

In a surprise move, four Red Lobster restaurants in Colorado have temporarily closed, sparking speculation about the chain's operational stability in different regions. The closures come amidst concerns that Red Lobster may soon declare bankruptcy.
