Red Lobster has been struggling for some time. With lease and labor costs piling up in recent years, the chain is now reportedly considering filing for bankruptcy.
Red Lobster hasn’t commented on the closures, but an unlimited shrimp promotion reportedly cost the company 23.5 million dollars at the end of last year.
The three local locations that have closed in Jacksonville are located in Regency, Baymeadows, and on Jacksonville’s Northside at River City Marketplace. The restaurants in Orange Park and Lake City are still listed as open.
