The restaurant chain shut down four locations in the Denver metro area last month and said in court filings it wants to close four more.

DENVER — Red Lobster said in court filings last week that it wants to close dozens more restaurants after its bankruptcy, and four of those locations are in Colorado.

Last month, more than 80 locations of the casual dining chain abruptly closed in at least 27 states. Workers at the shuttered restaurants shared their disbelief on social media and said they received no notice whatsoever.

In Colorado, the locations that closed were in Lakewood, Lone Tree, Wheat Ridge and Denver.

Days after shuttering the restaurants, the 56-year-old chain that brought seafood to the masses with inventions like popcorn shrimp and “endless” seafood filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Last week, Red Lobster identified several dozen more locations it wants to close if the court approves its bankruptcy plan.

The additional Red Lobsters that might close in Colorado are:

  • 4925 N. Academy Blvd, Colorado Springs
  • 3301 S. College Ave., Fort Collins
  • 2885 23rd St., Greeley
  • 3306 N. Elizabeth St., Pueblo

If those four locations closed as part of bankruptcy proceedings, that would leave eight Red Lobsters in Colorado.

The latest list of possible closures also includes locations in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington and West Virginia.

According to court filings, Red Lobster has 551 U.S. restaurants, 27 restaurants in Canada and 27 franchised locations in Mexico, Japan, Ecuador and Thailand. The company said it has 36,000 employees in the U.S. and Canada.
