Red Lobster,Bankruptcy,Reorganization

After filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection just four months ago, Red Lobster has successfully emerged with a reorganization plan approved by a U.S. bankruptcy judge. The casual seafood chain is now under the ownership of a lender group led by asset manager Fortress Investment Group. The company's new CEO, Damola Adamolekun, former chief executive of P.F. Chang’s, outlined plans for investment and growth.

Red Lobster, known for its affordable seafood and cheddary biscuits, has exited Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

The Orlando, Florida-based chain, which lost $76 million in 2023, shuttered dozens of its North American restaurants over recent months — both leading up to and during the bankruptcy process. That included more than 50 locations whose equipment was put up for auction just days before the Chapter 11 petition, followed by additional closures throughout the bankruptcy process.
