If you’ve never heard of it Raising Cane’s has quickly become one of the fastest growing chicken restaurant chains going today. They offer fried and grilled chicken tenders in a simplistic, yet very flavorful way. It seems, however they there are some who don’t seem to see it that way, as the chain, spent more than $200,000 to reduce the odor inside one of its the buildings, they were informed that their lease would be terminated over “offensive and or nuisance odors”, from the landlord themselves.
Cain’s lawsuit alleges that the landlord attempted to pressure them into waiving a lease provision that grants the chain exclusivity as the building’s “exclusive chicken restaurant,” as the landlord has been negotiating with Panda Express to take over space previously occupied by Starbucks.
The lawsuit is still pending, but it can bring about precedence towards other landlords who are also attempting the same thing, as a restaurant has faced issues from their landlord due to odor complaints, and the Indian restaurant had its locks changed and lease terminated by the property manager.
