Restaurant chain Red Lobster could file for bankruptcy protection as early as next week, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
People familiar with the matter told the Journal that the company, overwhelmed with hundreds of millions in debt, plans to file a Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition in Orlando before Memorial Day.
Bloomberg previously reported in April that the restaurant company was considering filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
All the food is crap besides the cheese biscuits which are far better made at home these days anyway. If you wanted a good experience at a Red Lobster, you’re about 30 years late.
Lol I feel like that is basically all corporate chains these days.
