If you haven't heard the news yet, Red Lobster has abruptly closed 90 locations across the country, with four restaurants closing here in Colorado. The closures come following rumors of bankruptcy.
And now, there's word of an online auction by a liquidation company for Red Lobster's kitchen equipment and other contents.
According to reports, the auctions are winner-takes-all—this means that each winner will receive the entire contents of the Red Lobster location they won the bid on. Many of the items in the auction include high-performance ovens, upright refrigerators and freezers, cooking and warming solutions, and comprehensive bar and dining setups.
The auctions are live and will end throughout the day on Thursday, May 16. All items must be picked up by the end of the day Friday.
Below is a list of the top bids, as of 10 a.m. Thursday, for the Colorado Red Lobster locations:
- Denver location: $8,100
- Lakewood location: $7,878
- Lone Tree location: $7,000
- Wheat Ridge location: $10,000
