To help get the company back on its feet, Red Lobster garnered $100 million in financing as it attempted to pay off its debt. In its filing, Red Lobsters said it went from having over $100 million cash on hand to less than $30 million from 2023 through early 2024.

Between 2019 and 2024, Red Lobster said it lost about 30% of its customer count.

At the time it filed Chapter 11, Red Lobster had 551 U.S. restaurants.
