Struggling chain that recently closed 3 Central Ohio locations being sued over coffee bill

I could probably rack up a $26,000 coffee bill with how much java I drink.

Looks like I’m not alone. After facing multiple eviction lawsuits this year for missing rent payments, the struggling chain Frisch’s Big Boy is being sued yet again – this time, by Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Co., who accused the chain of not paying its checks for coffee worth more than $26,000. They’re seeking more than $30,000.

Frisch’s is also battling further accusations from the technology company, CrunchTime! Information Systems, who is seeking damages of more than $75,000, accusing Frisch’s of attempting to back out of their contract after one year.

As they face these ongoing lawsuits, Frisch’s posted on their Facebook that they’re here to stay. “We are very grateful and extremely excited to have the opportunity to carry this beloved icon forward” said Short. “Like many other family dining restaurant brands which have struggled due to the devasting impact of COVID-19, coupled with unprecedented cost inflation pressures, some Frisch’s units are no longer viable. However, other units are well situated to move forward, and we plan to invest in those locations and add new units in the years ahead.”

Recently, Frisch’s closed three Central Ohio locations in Lancaster, Grove City, and Groveport, with speculation that the Heath location will also be shuttering soon.
