Red Lobster No Longer in Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

Great news for Yakima.
Great news for seafood lovers.
Great news for me, personally, who has so many fond memories of Red Lobster.

Red Lobster just announced they're not longer in Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

In a social media post, they said this:

Dear Valued Guests,

TODAY IS A GREAT DAY FOR RED LOBSTER!
WE ARE HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT RED LOBSTER HAS SUCCESSFULLY EXITED ITS CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY.

Red Lobster is now stronger, more resilient, and ready for a bright new chapter - supported by our local guests, dedicated team members, and new USA-based ownership who are committed to investing in Red Lobster's future.

We've been inspired by the countless stories you've shared with us over the past few months of how Red Lobster has been a part of your lives - from celebrating milestone birthdays and anniversaries, to being the place for fist dates that turned into lifelong partnerships. We're excited to create new cherished moments with you as we turn the page to start writing Red Lobster's next chapter.

That chapter begins now. You'll start to see the positive impact of investments in Red Lobster across each of our 545 restaurants in the USA and Canada. We're more excited than ever to serve you the high-quality seafood that has made us a beloved family tradition for over 56 years- and to hear how our improvements are making your cherished moments even more special.

Unfortunately, this doesn't turn back the clock on any Red Lobster that was part of some of the recent closings.

I'm looking forward to see what comes next from Red Lobster here in Yakima and our surrounding locations here in Washington State.
