Red Lobster announced it will be closing an additional 23 restaurants at the end of the month. The move comes after Red Lobster closed over 100 locations earlier this year amid bankruptcy proceedings.
Red Lobster is in the process of selling itself to Fortress Credit Corp., which recently gave the national restaurant chain $100 million to continue operating the roughly 500 restaurants it has remaining across the United States.
