Dozens more Red Lobster locations, including in Delaware, now in jeopardy of closing
Endless shrimp did not cause Red Lobster to file for bankruptcy
A series of financial problems including $294 million in debt has lead seafood giant Red Lobster to file for bankruptcy.
The Red Lobster bankruptcy saga continues, as the company disclosed at least 100 additional locations that the chain plans to close if its bankruptcy plans are approved and leases cannot be renegotiated.
Locations newly at risk include a Red Lobster location in Delaware, and additional locations around the region.
The company abruptly closed dozens of Red Lobsters last month, in a tally that quickly reached 99 closed Red Lobsters across 28 states as the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protections.
Bankruptcy filings in May revealed a grim situation: A 30% drop in guests since 2019, and a mere $30 million in cash on hand against more than a billion dollars in debt to thousands of creditors.
Restaurant closures likely won’t stop at the ones in May, according to bankruptcy filings. Red Lobster wrote in filings last month that it plans to not renew leases in their current form at more than 200 locations, around 40% of Red Lobster locations as of May.
Restaurants on the list of “rejected leases” appear to include restaurants that closed last month, and even some that closed much sooner. But conservatively, this means more than 100 restaurants are still in jeopardy of closing.
First closures: Dozens of Red Lobsters are closing across 27 states. Are Delaware locations safe?
More: Amid Red Lobster closings, loyal diners ask: Will beloved chain sleep with the fishes?
Plans to close these locations also are contingent on whether Red Lobster is able to renegotiate some leases, and whether bankruptcy plans are approved in their current form.
What Red Lobster locations are in danger of closing in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania?
Neither the Stanton, Delaware, nor Dover, Delaware, location was among those listed as being in jeopardy.
But among those on Red Lobster’s list is the Talleyville location of Red Lobster, at 309 Rocky Run Parkway across from Concord Mall in Delaware.
The restaurant remains open as of Thursday, June 6, and staff had not been informed of any impending closure.
Other regional locations listed as being in jeopardy of closing include three Pennsylvania locations, three in New Jersey and one in Maryland.
Here’s a list of Red Lobster restaurants in the region that are apparently in jeopardy of closing as Red Lobster continues with its bankruptcy process.

Delaware State Police arrested Jacob Singleton, 24, of Middletown, Delaware, for multiple felony offenses.
NEWARK, D.E. – A 24-year-old man is facing multiple charges after police say he led officers to a pursuit in Newark on Sunday.
Delaware State Police arrested Jacob Singleton, 24, of Middletown, Delaware, for multiple felony offenses.
On Sunday at around 2:23 p.m., a trooper assisting a disabled motorist on Salem Church Road near East Chestnut Hill Road observed a black Mazda run a red light.
With emergency lights already activated, the trooper attempted to stop the vehicle, but it sped away, leading to a pursuit.
Police say the Mazda drove recklessly through several streets in Newark, prompting the trooper to discontinue the pursuit for the safety of other motorists.
MORE HEADLINES:
Shortly thereafter, troopers patrolling the area located the Mazda parked in a driveway on Montrose Drive, at what they described as “dangerously close” to an occupied residence.
A resident then flagged down the troopers and said that the driver, later identified as Jacob Singleton, had unlawfully entered their home and was hiding in the bathroom.
Troopers found Singleton in the bathroom, and he resisted arrest, resulting in injuries to one of the troopers.
Singleton was taken into custody without further incident.
The injured trooper was treated for non-life-threatening injuries at a nearby hospital and later released.
Singleton was charged with assault 2nd on law enforcement officer causing injury (felony), reckless endangering 1st degree (felony) – 3 counts, burglary (felony), resisting arrest with force causing injury to peace officer (felony), disregarding a police officer’s signal (felony), multiple traffic violations.
He was committed to Howard R. Young Correctional Institution on a $13,300 cash bond.

Delaware man steals $11,000 worth of cigarettes. 'Yes, you read that right' – Times of India
![Delaware man steals $11,000 worth of cigarettes. 'Yes, you read that right' – Times of India](https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/msid-111064029,width-1070,height-580,imgsize-184191,resizemode-75,overlay-toi_sw,pt-32,y_pad-40/photo.jpg)
“Yes, you read that right—eleven thousand dollars’ worth of smokes!” the Delaware State Police wrote on Facebook. It could not help but crack a little cigarette joke. “Your tip could be the match that lights up this case!” police wrote.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to contact Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-847-3333, New York Post reported.
The thief has been identified from the surveillance video awhich the police released. “While an employee was occupied in another section of the store, the suspect snuck behind the counter and made off with the goods,” the statement read. In the photo, the thief can be seen clad in red with a walker in front of him.
Social media users had a riot over the freak robbery as they wondered where the man put over 100 cartons of cigarettes. “I guess they weren’t trying to give him his senior discount,” one user quipped. Another questioned how long the employee was busy elsewhere that this suspect — who looked like an old person walking with the help of a walker — made as many trips to steal so many cartons of cigarettes.
