A longtime local grocery store chain has lost a lawsuit in federal court.
Federal Judge Arthur Schwab ruled this week in favor of wholesale grocery store distributor Merchants Distributors and against Friedman’s Freshmarkets.
The suit was filed by Merchants and claimed Friedman’s borrowed more than $2 million to stock its stores and did not pay it back.
Friedman’s had then counter-sued and claimed the distributors’ business practices ended up destroying their company. The judge also ruled against that.
It was one year ago that Friedman’s closed its downtown Butler location after more than 100 years. The company has since closed all of its remaining locations throughout the county.
