NORTH CAROLINA, USA — Red Lobster is closing nearly two dozen more of its locations nationwide, including another restaurant in North Carolina.
The restaurant chain's Jacksonville, NC location is among the 23 latest nationwide restaurant closures – bringing the total number of Red Lobsters now closed in North Carolina to five. Those 23 stores will close by August 31, CBS News reports.
Dozens of Red Lobster restaurants closed back in May when the franchise filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Among those initial closures were four North Carolina locations.
This second round of closures brings the tally to more than 100 Red Lobster restaurants that have shuttered since earlier this summer. There are roughly 500 restaurants that remain. Fortress Investment Group, which owns Krystal, Logan's Roadhouse and J. Alexander's, recently loaned Red Lobster $100 million to keep going.
Here are the North Carolina Red Lobsters now closed:
- Rocky Mount, NC
