costs.<\/p>\n<p>Adamolekun said in the interview that visits have risen, with sales up about 10% from last year, but they haven\u2019t recovered to pre-bankruptcy levels, and many of the chain\u2019s locations need upgrades.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of positive signs, but we inherited a very damaged brand, so there\u2019s still work to do to repair all of that,\u201d he told the Journal.<\/p>\n<p>Red Lobster\u00a0filed for bankruptcy\u00a0in May 2024 after it racked up steep losses amid reduced sales and losses generated from an endless shrimp deal that was originally priced at $20.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The company is also dealing with the fallout from a 2014 move that sold off ownership of the chain\u2019s\u00a0real estate\u00a0and saddled the company with lease payments.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Some of those leases involve\u00a0multiple restaurants, which Adamolekun said has made it difficult to close some poorly performing locations because their lease is linked with higher performing ones.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><button class=\"button button--modal-trigger\" aria-label=\"Open the image in a modal.\"
