The chain has now expanded into 11 countries, so you can find Red Lobster everywhere from its native Florida to Malaysia and Ecuador. It introduced now-ubiquitous casual seafood fare like popcorn shrimp to the market in 1974, created annual dining events like Lobsterfest in 1984, and its famous Endless Shrimp promotion in 2004. Since then, the chain has become a behemoth in the landscape of American chain restaurants. The chain was launched with a single family-owned seafood restaurant owned by Bill Darden and located in Lakeland, Florida, in 1968. Red Lobster has long been the leading seafood chain restaurant in America, with over 700 locations and over $2.5 billion in annual sales, according to a report by 24/7 Wall Street.
