The Red Lobster in Hialeah quietly closed its doors in May. The kitchen equipment for the location was even put up for auction on an online restaurant liquidator listing Hialeah on its site.
These changes come as the national seafood restaurant chain considered filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to ease financial pressure, according to a report in April.
The national seafood restaurant chain said that it had more than $1 billion in debt. Part of its plan is to close some locations of its nearly 600 restaurants in the meantime.
According to court documents filed this week, the chain is set to be sold by the end of July and will have a new owner before the end of the summer.
The restaurant was founded more than 50 years ago by Bill Darden and Charley Woodsby and opened its first location in Lakeland, Florida.
Its parent company is currently the Thai Union Group.
