Popular Restaurant Chain Closing Another Location In South Carolina

Months after abruptly closing more than 50 locations around the U.S., popular seafood restaurant chain Red Lobster is closing nearly two dozen additional restaurants around the country, including another right here in South Carolina.

Red Lobster recently announced it will close an additional 23 of its restaurants across 15 states at the end of the month amid bankruptcy proceedings. Among the list is one location in South Carolina, an additional restaurant among the one in the Palmetto State that was suddenly closed without warning earlier this year.

According to Fast Company , the new South Carolina Red Lobster location set to close by August 31 is located at 1270 Knox Abbott Drive in Cayce. Check out our earlier coverage to learn more about the previously-announced restaurant closure in the state.

In May, it was reported that Red Lobster has struggled financially in part to its popular Ultimate Endless Shrimp deal, an all-you-can-eat shrimp promotion that was once a limited-time special that the company made available all the time for $20, a move that reportedly led to a loss of $12.5 million.

Dozens of locations were suddenly shuttered in an effort to fight off bankruptcy and much of its kitchen equipment, tables and chairs were actioned off by liquidation company TAGeX Brands as part of "the largest restaurant equipment auction ever."
