FORGOTTEN HISTORY: Beloved seafood chain closes historic first restaurant after 56 years - The Untold Story

Red Lobster

Red Lobster 's oldest restaurant , located in Tallahassee, Florida , is set to permanently close on Sunday, May 24, after 56 years of business.
The closure is part of Red Lobster's strategy following its Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in May 2024, which saw the company close over 100 restaurants across the US.
Red Lobster emerged from bankruptcy in September 2024 after being acquired by RL Investor Holdings LLC and receiving approximately $70 million in new investment.
Under CEO Damola Adamolekun, the company has implemented a revival plan, including reviewing restaurant leases, closing underperforming sites, overhauling its menu, and refreshing its marketing strategy.
The chain recently brought back its popular all-you-can-eat Endless Shrimp promotion, which had reportedly caused Red Lobster to lose about $11 million in 2023.
