KSDK just shared an article that's based on a report by the St. Louis Business Journal. It says that the Red Lobster at 9838 Watson Road in Crestwood, Missouri is closing its doors forever.

KSDK quotes a Red Lobster official who reportedly said "We regularly review our restaurant portfolios as part of the normal course of business, and as a result, we have concluded that this location is no longer right for Red Lobster".

They reported and I've confirmed that the official Red Lobster website for that location says "temporarily closed", but the report that it will not reopen seems very firm.

There are numerous Red Lobster locations in the St. Louis area including Bridgeton, Chesterfield, St. Peters, etc. Just know that if the Crestwood location was on your to-do list, you'll need to adjust your directions.

There's no word how many employees were affected by the Crestwood, Missouri Red Lobster closing.
