Red Lobster closed about 50 restaurants Monday, including two sites in the Lower Hudson Valley.

The New York Post reported Tuesday that 14 other chain locations in New York and New Jersey, including Nanuet and Scarsdale, were listed as "temporarily closed" for the foreseeable future on their location's website.

TAGeX Brands, a major restaurant liquidator, said over 50 Red Lobster restaurants across the country permanently closed Monday and are holding auctions for the contents of entire chain locations until Thursday, May 16.

Other Red Lobster restaurants temporarily closed include Lakewood, Buffalo, Amherst, Williamsville, Rochester, Poughkeepsie and Stony Brook in New York, and Ledgewood, Lawrenceville, East Brunswick and Bridgewater in New Jersey

The company, which has over 650 locations, had been considering filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy since April to "restructure its debt", according to CNN.

In 2020, Thai Union, a Thailand-based supplier for the fast-casual seafood chain since 2016, became a stakeholder in the company and attempted to change its fate.

Since then, the chain has seen four CEOs in four years and a "too popular" all-you-can-eat-shrimp deal that cost the company millions of dollars in 2023. Earlier this year, Thai Union backtracked on its deal with the chain and said it would divest from the company, costing the supplier a $530 million loss on its investment.

“The combination of COVID-19 pandemic, sustained industry headwinds, higher interest rates and rising material and labor costs have impacted Red Lobster, resulting in prolonged negative financial contributions to Thai Union and its shareholders,” said Thiraphong Chansiri, Thai Union Group’s CEO. “After detailed analysis, we have determined that Red Lobster’s ongoing financial requirements no longer align with our capital allocation priorities and therefore are pursuing an exit of our minority investment.”

On Monday, Thai Union said it expected to reach a negotiation with other buyers for a full divestment from the company by the end of 2024.

As of May 14, restaurants in Yonkers, the Bronx, Times Square, Brooklyn, Paramus, Wayne and Secaucus in New Jersey and Danbury, Connecticut, remain open and operational.
