History

Two entrepreneurs Bill Darden and Charley Woodsby founded Red Lobster with its first restaurant in Lakeland, Florida on March 22, 1968. Later in 1970, General Mills acquired the company from the duos. The eatery’s original billing was under “Harbor for Seafood Lovers.” The company’s expansion was witnessed with several locations being opened across the southeast United States.

Bill Darden aged 75 years passed away on March 29, 1994 due to prolonged illness and since then the chain became and remains a part of the Golden Gate Capital. The food chain also debuted an all-new brand “Bar Harbor”. The prototype of this eatery was inspired by the coastal ambience of New England including warm-toned fabrics, nautical décor, dark wooden panel and artwork.
