Red Lobster

Heard the brand was going under by the end of the year. Obviously in the rumors section for a reason.

Not going under, just being let go by its parents, and we will have to see if it can fly on its own...

I know Darden wants to spin Red Lobster off. I haven't heard anything about the brand's impending doom though.

I guess I am not really in the know when it is in every news outlet .

Every RL I've ever been in has been crowded. Don't know how they can be struggling. Maybe that isnt the case outside of the midwest.

Food prices are higher than most restaurants.

Do you mean food costs? My point is the price doesnt keep them from being busy. However, if the margins stink that wont help.

Yeah, prices = costs. Sorry for the confusion.

WR hadn't been to a RL in years and decided to go. The prices were not what I expected they were much higher. I would pay less at plank,blue, etc for some type of seafood and a better atmosphere. Although they remodeled the outside of all locations, the interior, service, & menu aren't the best
