Red Lobster Weighs Limited Return of Endless Shrimp, Reports Say

The reported move signals pressure to boost traffic following a rocky bankruptcy recovery.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the chain is exploring a limited-time comeback as soon as this month, and the company says it has nothing to announce.
  • Bringing the deal back would break CEO Damola Adamolekun’s 2024 pledge to scrap it for good.
  • The all-you-can-eat offer racked up about $11 million in losses in one quarter after it became a $20 everyday item in 2023.
  • Red Lobster filed for Chapter 11 in May 2024 and shut about 130 restaurants, with further closures still under review.
  • The promotion packs dining rooms and sparks viral feats of excess, which lift traffic but drive food costs higher and strain supply.
