Red Lobster has faced significant challenges in New England, with just four locations remaining, all in Connecticut. The seafood chain's downfall can be attributed to the region's abundant seafood offerings, especially lobster, which is both fresher and more affordable. Even though many chain restaurants thrive by offering lower prices, Red Lobster's branding hasn't resonated. Following a bankruptcy in 2024, the company closed hundreds of locations, highlighting the struggle against competition and mismanagement. In New England, the preference for local seafood ultimately led to the decline of this chain.
Red Lobster has struggled to maintain a presence in New England due to its inability to compete with the region's local seafood, especially with lobster being a specialty.
Despite being a well-known chain, Red Lobster has only four locations left in New England, all positioned in Connecticut, primarily due to regional seafood preferences.
