Red Lobster Store Closures 2026: Full Closing List
As of October 24, 2026, Store Closure Watch has tracked 35 Red Lobster closure-related events across the U.S., including 34 recorded store closures and 6 with a WARN notice. Source: Four Lights Analytics Store Closure Watch.
Red Lobster listed about 500 store pages on its own site in September 2026. We check that list weekly. When a store page is missing from two consecutive checks we test the page directly, and we drop the candidate if it is still serving a live store listing. Most records in the file come from news reports, WARN notices and court filings, not from this check.
+ 22 corporate/bankruptcy filing records tracked separately (court and chain-wide filings, not individual store closures).
How final are these events?
Confirmed and Effective events are done or in motion; Announced events are company-stated plans; Pending / Conditional events depend on outcomes like lease or court decisions.

This page shows a public summary of 35 Red Lobster closure events. Each Monday's file adds that week's new records in full — street addresses, WARN filings, court links, closing dates, and liquidation detail where available. It's what's new each week, not the whole history behind this page; for a specific market or date range, that's a custom data pull.
