HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Get excited, seafood fans! Red Lobster is back in Huntsville. The parking lot was full when the doors opened.
The restaurant reopened today, Aug. 28, 2024, at 10 a.m. It hasn't moved from the 1818 University Dr NW, just east of Memorial Parkway.
The reopening follows significant challenges faced by the seafood chain earlier this year. In May 2024, Red Lobster filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and closed dozens of locations across the U.S.
The closures were part of a broader strategy to reject leases for restaurants deemed financially unviable. The list of closures included at least 132 locations in 31 states, including high-profile spots like the Times Square location in New York.
Red Lobster has not provided any specific reasons for choosing this location to reopen.
