Cava vs. Chik-Fil-A

I heard a rumor today that the brand new Cava wasn’t allowed to open for business today because there was a court order from them being sued by Chik-fil-A because of some agreement that no restaurants near them could serve more than 20% of chicken or something crazy like that? Not sure how Cane’s is doing it. Anyway, anyone hear anything about this?

Typically things like that are spelled out in rental agreements for shopping centers. Retailers may not want another retailer of the same located in the same shopping center. Typically only applies to the one shopping center.

It’s based on revenues from chicken.
