People are hoping that news of Red Lobster’s bankruptcy will bring them some financial good… by selling store memorabilia.
All kinds of goodies from the iconic seafood restaurant are up for grabs on eBay – from a menu dating back to 1990, to an employee badge and even a children’s coloring book.
Some heavy brass doorknobs from one of their stores have also popped up on the online market for a whopping $600… while on the other side, a small 3-inch-long sandwich pick is listed for $6.
That comes later bankruptcy news It recently emerged that RL was the victim of onerous leases, high labor costs and its iconic all-you-can-eat shrimp deal.
The news came just days after 100 restaurants were temporarily closed and almost dozens of others were closed completely.
In order to make a lot of money to pay off its creditors, Red Lobster’s also listed the entire contents of its closed restaurants on RestaurantEquipment.bid.
For now, it’s business as usual as the company has handed over the reins to its creditors, who have contributed $100 million in financing to support the chain through bankruptcy.
