The owner of the Coralville Popeye’s location is being sued by the chicken chain after allegedly operating without a franchise agreement.
Jam Equities…which owns Popeyes locations in Coralville, Cedar Rapids, Waterloo, Dubuque, and Des Moines…is accused of continuing to operate the five restaurants despite the Popeyes corporation terminating the contracts. Popeyes warned the locations as early as last year that they were failing to operate to company standards regarding safety and brand quality. The warnings reportedly went unanswered, and all five contracts were terminated.
Popeye’s filed a federal lawsuit against Jam Equities earlier this month seeking injunctive relief and unspecified damages.
