Viral News Snippet:

FACT CHECK: ❌ FALSE — Red Lobster in Tallahassee is NOT closing this week, despite viral social media posts.

A Facebook post shared over 4,000 times claims the Red Lobster at 2410 N. Monroe St. will “permanently close its doors Saturday after 34 years.” However, Red Lobster corporate confirmed to local reporters that the Tallahassee location is “operating as normal” and has no scheduled closure. The hoax appears to recycle a 2023 rumor about another Florida location. The post’s image was also stolen from a 2019 news article about a separate restaurant closure in Ohio. Bottom line: You can still get your Cheddar Bay Biscuits. That location is not closing.
