Get it?
Seriously.. seems like an out of whack decision to me-

Starbucks will now lurch sharply to the right, eschewing Yani CDs for fishing lures and ammo.
Would this push Starbucks to throw tea into mall fountains?

Shut down the store operation, still pay the lease. Nothing the courts can do.

depends on the language in the lease, it is not a free standing store so the mall operator may have put some language in there about operating unless bankrupt or something crazy133743Hokie wrote:Shut down the store operation, still pay the lease. Nothing the courts can do.

Even if there is, courts typically have a hard time making a party do something (besides paying money damages) and are usually reluctant to enforce them.cwtcr hokie wrote:depends on the language in the lease, it is not a free standing store so the mall operator may have put some language in there about operating unless bankrupt or something crazy133743Hokie wrote:Shut down the store operation, still pay the lease.

I’m surprised that Starbucks would sign a lease that affirmatively required them to take any action except pay their rent.

Usually that kind of language would be for an anchor store, not a tea shop. The idea that Teavana is driving foot traffic is ridiculous. Having them close down isn't going to harm the malls from a foot traffic perspective.cwtcr hokie wrote:depends on the language in the lease, it is not a free standing store so the mall operator may have put some language in there about operating unless bankrupt or something crazy133743Hokie wrote:Shut down the store operation, still pay the lease.

You could argue that a Starbuck's coffee shop would be important, but not Teavana.
