4 New Jersey Red Lobster restaurants among dozens abruptly closed across U.S., report says

Published reports say four Red Lobster restaurants in New Jersey are among the roughly 50 locations across the country that abruptly closed on Monday.

Liquidators are already selling every item in those restaurants and workers that were impacted say they received no notice, many after years of service.
