Red Lobster to file for bankruptcy


Recommended Posts

From Bloomberg:

Quote

Seafood restaurant chain Red Lobster is mulling a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing as it looks to restructure its debt, according to people with knowledge of the matter. 

 

Red Lobster has been getting advice from law firm King & Spalding, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing a private matter. The dining chain is considering a possible Chapter 11 filing to shed some long-term contracts and renegotiate a swath of leases, the people said.

 

Red Lobster's cash flows have been weighed down by onerous leases and labor costs, among other issues. Restructuring discussions are ongoing and a final decision hasn't been made, they said. Filing for bankruptcy would allow the company to keep operating while it works on a debt-cutting plan. 

 

Messages left with Red Lobster and King & Spalding were not returned.

Red lobster is not profitable so instead of all the restaurants being owned by the corporate entities, they will be sold to individuals to be franchised ala mcdonalds. 
 

Red Lobster was supposed to go bankrupt last year but they got a big investment loan that would not need to be paid back if they met all their metrics (like 8 i believe). They only met 1 metric which is why they are going bankrupt.
