Red Lobster closed its Tallahassee restaurant in May after 56 years, ending the run of its oldest continuously operating location. The same month brought closures in Pennsylvania, Kansas and Missouri. Then, in June, its Times Square restaurant shut down after 23 years, leaving Manhattan without a Red Lobster. “Times Square has been an important chapter in Red Lobster’s history, and this was a difficult decision,” the company said.
