Red Lobster Can Thank Beyoncé For Its Recent Boost in Sales

Red Lobster’s newest (unofficial) spokesperson isn’t who we’d expect. Thanks to Beyoncé, the chain restaurant has trended on Twitter for the first time, and since the release of Queen Bey’s “Formation,” they’ve seen a 33% increase in sales. Damn. 

According to Red Lobster chief Kim Lopdrup, who spoke to The New York Times, “It’s clear Beyoncé has helped create some Red Lobster fans.”

So, uh… Valentine’s Day plans, anyone?
