Canada, BC: Big River Brew Pub closes & reopens after some lease disagreements in Richmond

Richmond News reports that a legal dispute led to the sudden closure of Big River Brew Pub last week, only to be quickly followed by its reopening just a few days later.

According to the initial story, the landlord of the brewpub and its adjacent joint business “The Zone Bowling Centre” received a court order to have both businesses shuttered due to lease disagreements and ongoing issues with late and missed rent payments. The order went into effect on July 24, and a sheriff’s notice was posted indicating that the landlord had taken possession of the property.

However, a follow-up article reports that an agreement has been reached between the two parties, and both venues were reopened on July 28. However, no terms of the new agreement have been disclosed.
