Red Lobster announced it will be closing an additional 23 restaurants at the end of the month. The move comes after Red Lobster closed over 100 locations earlier this year amid bankruptcy proceedings.

Red Lobster is one of many companies currently struggling to make ends meet as inflation continues to rise and consumers cut back on expenses like dining out. Other struggling companies include BurgerFi, Boston Market, Pizza Hut, Buca di Beppo, TGI Fridays, Popeyes, Tijuana Flats, Cracker Barrel, and Applebee's.
