Red Lobster has requested a hearing for August 29. Attorney Edward Peterson a Tampa-based law firm Johnson Pope, who is not involved in the proceedings, said the scheduling of the hearing for that day is intended to get the company out of locations in time to avoid incurring another month’s rent payments for them.
