ORLANDO, Florida – Two dozen more Red Lobster locations, two of them in Minnesota, will be closing as the Thai-based parent company struggles through bankruptcy to make the chain attractive to a buyer. In all, 150 of 650 Red Lobster locations have been abandoned. Now add these Minnesota locations — in Golden Valley and Maple Grove — to the list. The potential buyer, Fortress Credit Corporation, already has loaned the seafood chain $100 million to stay afloat during a transition. Fortune already owns these chains in Southern states: Krystal, known for small square sliders; Logan’s Roadhouse, casual dining; and J.Alexander’s, also casual dining.
