How private equity rolled Red Lobster
  + stars: | 2024-05-24 | by ( Gretchen Morgenson | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +9 min
In this photo illustration, a cooked lobster is displayed on a plate at a Red Lobster restaurant on May 20, 2024 in Austin, Texas. Under the terms of the sale, Red Lobster would also see regular rent increases of 2% a year, the release noted. "All of the people who were supplying Red Lobster, all of the people who are essentially providing services to Red Lobster, the small businesses in the communities affected by mass layoffs, they are next in line, they are experiencing the ripple effect." Sen. Edward Markey, a Democrat from Massachusetts, where eight hospitals operated by bankrupt Steward Health Care are, recently held hearings on private equity and health care. Private equity is emerging in all parts of our economy, Markey added, but its most profound impact is in health care.

Shake Shack has nearly 350 locations in the U.S. and another 134 around the world and is valued at more than $4 billion. With dozens of new locations opening later this year, the team in the Innovation Kitchen is constantly developing new offerings. In order for a menu item to reach customers, it needs to be approved by Shake Shack's 13-person tasting panel. How delicious an item is is only one of the factors that the Innovation Kitchen team thinks about when developing new recipes. Shake Shack's latest limited time offering — a barbeque inspired menu — was months in the making.

Read previewRed Lobster has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the seafood restaurant chain announced in a statement on Sunday. However, Red Lobster added its remaining restaurants will "remain open and operating as usual during the Chapter 11 process." Filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy allows a company to stay in business while it restructures its assets. The firm said it had received a $100 million debtor-in-possession agreement from its existing lenders, which will now take control of Red Lobster.

An exterior view of a Wendy's fast-food restaurant in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, on May 19, 2024. Wendy's will offer a $3 breakfast combination meal starting Monday, as restaurant chains look for new ways to drive sales while consumers pull back on dining out. Last week, CNBC reported the fast-food giant's $5 meal deal would be available in stores for only a month, starting June 25. Wendy's earlier this month reported first-quarter revenue grew a modest 1.1% to $534.8 million. Although higher prices have helped the chain's revenue, they have scared away some low-income customers.

A sign is posted on the exterior of a Red Lobster restaurant on April 17, 2024 in Rohnert Park, California. Red Lobster has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, continuing the process to shrink its footprint and find a buyer, the company said in a statement. CNBC reported last month Red Lobster was seeking a buyer, weighed down by significant debt and long-term leases. At the time, it was tough to predict that Red Lobster would see sales drop as much as they have. "This restructuring is the best path forward for Red Lobster," Tibus said in a statement late Sunday.

"Consumers continue to be even more discriminating with every dollar that they spend as they faced elevated prices in their day-to-day spending," McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski said on the company's conference call in late April. Paul Weaver | SOPA Images | Getty ImagesFor more than two years, consumers have dealt with sharply rising prices. But that doesn't mean the actual prices seen on grocery store shelves or restaurant menus will fall, and shoppers are feeling that pinch. While some CEOs have said that consumers are growing more cautious, others — like those in the airline industry — have celebrated strong and persistent spending. Corporate misfires can also lead to disappointing sales, even if their shoppers aren't necessarily pulling back on their spending.

Walmart wants diners to find a value meal in its grocery aisles. As fast food gets pricier, the nation's largest grocer sees a sales opportunity. As customers see some grocery items stay the same price or even become cheaper, the gap between buying menu items and cooking food at home has grown even wider, he said. As of April, the price of food at home, a category that measures the total cost of food purchased at grocers or other food stores, was up 1.1% year over year. The price of food away from home rose significantly more: 4.1% year over year.

AdvertisementVERDICT: Although Trader Joe's penne arrabbiata could make for a satisfying, last-minute dinner, it wasn't memorable enough for me to buy again. Trader Joe's frozen section offers many different Tex-Mex and Mexican-inspired dishes, but I noticed these because of the "hatch chile" description.

My friend and I paid $1,900 to stay in a mountain-view room at the Taj Cape Town in South Africa. That's why I was ecstatic when my best friend asked me to be her plus-one to a ceremony in Cape Town, South Africa, one of the top unique wedding destinations for 2024 and 2025. When we were choosing a place to stay, I decided to go with a chain I was already familiar with and booked a room for two at the Taj Cape Town. I spent 35,500 ZAR, or about $1,900 USD, on a six-night stay at the hotel. Here's what our experience at Taj Cape Town was like.

Howard Schultz, former chief executive officer of Starbucks Corp., drinks from a Starbucks mug during a Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing in Washington, DC, US, on Wednesday, March 29, 2023. The answer does not lie in data, but in the stores," Schultz wrote in a letter on Sunday evening posted to LinkedIn. He appeared to offer advice to his successor as he tries to turn the chain's sales around. "Leaders must model both humility and confidence as they work to restore trust and increase performance across the organization," Schultz wrote. A year and a half ago, Schultz told CNBC that he does not plan to come back as Starbucks' chief executive again.

Read previewFor the second quarter in a row, America's biggest fast-food brands continued to see their sales hit by consumer boycotts in the Middle East. McDonald's said last week that it took a sales hit from "the ongoing war in the Middle East" at restaurants in that part of the world. AdvertisementSome consumers in the Middle East and other parts of the world have avoided brands associated with the US, citing America's support of Israel. At Starbucks, the problems in the Middle East took a toll on second-quarter international sales, CFO Rachel Ruggeri said. The analysts wrote that "a social media narrative around [Starbucks'] position on the Middle East may be the primary driver" of slower sales in the US.
