Several Red Lobster locations nationwide, including two in the Bay Area, are set to close. At least 99 of these seafood restaurants will shut down, including the ones in Rohnert Park and Fremont.

Red Lobster has faced challenges such as debt, executive changes, and various strategies, including a promotion featuring all-you-can-eat shrimp last autumn that led to significant financial losses.

Equipment from these closing locations is being auctioned off, with items ranging from high-performance ovens to upright refrigerators and dining room furniture available for sale.
