SAN DIGEO, CA —Red Lobster restaurants in three Southern California locations are “temporarily closed,” according to the company’s website, with dozens more nationwide suddenly shuttered. The closures happened on Monday and, according to social media postings from restaurant employees, the closures came without notice.

The closed restaurants in Southern California include:

• Montclair: 9345 Monte Vista
• San Diego: 8330 Mira Mesa Blvd.
• Torrance: 21233 Hawthorne Blvd.

The restaurant has been looking for a buyer, but is staggering from multiple problems including being cut off by a key supplier.

On April 18, Red Lobster had the following locations open in California:
