Raising Cane’s fights eviction over chicken smell, alleges ulterior motive
Raising Cane's claims eviction threat is a tactic to end its lease and exclusive rights despite spending over $200,000 to reduce odors, lawsuit states.
- Last month, Raising Cane's filed a lawsuit after its landlord, 755 Boylston LLC, allegedly threatened eviction over complaints the Back Bay location `smells like chicken fingers`.
- The landlord alleges the restaurant's chicken smell is drifting into apartments above, while Raising Cane's says it has spent over $200,000 on efforts to reduce odors.
- According to the filing, Raising Cane's says the eviction threat aims to force it to give up its exclusive right to operate a chicken restaurant and break the lease.
- A Raising Cane's spokesperson said the company believes the situation can be resolved amicably, while restaurant customer Mike O'Brien said he 'really don't want to see it leave' and added people should `know where you're living`.
- Public skepticism surfaced in colorful remarks as unnamed locals dismissed the eviction claim as hogwash, comparing it to Charlestown residents complaining about cannon fire.
