Food supplier Sysco Canada Inc. is suing Mark Brand and the much-hyped Save On Meats restaurant for allegedly failing to pay for more than $324,000 worth of food products.
Sysco Canada, doing business as Sysco Vancouver, filed a notice of civil claim in BC Supreme Court on July 25 against Mark Brand Inc., doing business as Save On Meats, and Brand as a guarantor.
According to the lawsuit, Brand opened an account in May 2011, and, between May 2011 and April 2013, cheques provided to Sysco were “occasionally” returned by the defendants' financial institution. Sysco also created another account for the defendants' location on the campus of Vancouver Community College, but the account eventually racked up an unpaid balance of more than $92,000, according to the claim.
By July 16, 2014, Sysco claims, Brand and Save On Meats owed $324,688 for food products and $38,757 in accrued interest.
The allegations have not been tested in court and the defendants had not filed a response by press time.
