## Resource

Red Lobster’s Waikiki outpost has closed for good after 30 years — the last one in Hawaii — amid the chain’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy and $76 million losses last year. For locals, it was a beloved spot for seafood, birthdays, and cheddar bay biscuits. This closure marks the end of an era and underscores how even iconic restaurants struggle in today’s economy.
