    Some company bought the IP of red lobster. Then sold the buildings as a franchiser. Then kept the land those buildings were on. Then kept jacking up the price over and over until they can't pay the rent no more.
    Then declared bankruptcy, is selling the brand and leaving poor suckers dumb enough to buy the red lobster and the buildings.
    They still own the land.

    From what I understand they were played from within. Back when, they sold off the land the stores were sitting on to another company owned by the same parent corporation. The stores (who had owned their property previously) now had to pay rent to this other company. Which they couldn't do. So they're shutting down because they can't afford to pay for the land they operate on to a company their parent company also owns.
    It would be like YUM! brands buying all the properties that their Pizza Huts, Taco Bells and KFCs sit on, shunting that over to a different company they own and charging an overpriced lease for them to operate on that land the new company owns. Then when the stores start defaulting on their leases as they can't afford the rent they start closing the stores down and forcing them into bankruptcy then saying "Aw, man, it was the stores' fault!"

That’s the only thing I came for the red lobster biscuits and a Caesar salad.
