May 4, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 11 ENDORSED ORDER granting in part, denying in part #6 Plaintiff's Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction, for the reasons stated in #9 Defendant Southeastern Grocers Holdings, LLC's Response. Defendant represents that it does not intend to enter into a sublease of the "Liquor Store Premises" with any unaffiliated entity and does not oppose an order precluding it from entering into such a sublease. Nor does Defendant oppose an order precluding it from making any exterior renovations until further order of the Court. The parties are directed to confer on an agreed order granting the relief to which Defendant consents, subject to Plaintiff first posting a bond in the amount of $5,000.00. The proposed agreed order must be submitted to the Court not later than noon on May 5, 2026. With regard to the interior renovations, the motion is denied because Plaintiff failed to demonstrate a substantial likelihood of success on the merits or irreparable harm, given that (1) the contract between the parties grants Defendant "the right... to make any interior additions and improvements, including doors and partitions, in and to the demised premises which it may deem necessary or desirable and which do not adversely affect the structural integrity thereof" and Plaintiff has not alleged that the alleged renovations would adversely affect the structural integrity of the premises and (2) Plaintiff failed to demonstrate that there has been the type of absolute repudiation required under the law. Even if there had been evidence of such a repudiation, Plaintiff failed to address the fact that the parties agreed to a contractual remedy in the event the store is closed for longer than six months. The parties are FURTHER ORDERED to mediate this case within 30 days. A notice of mediation must be filed no later than end of business on May 5, 2026. If they have not agreed on a mediator, a mediation date and time, and the location for an in-person mediation by noon on May 5, 2026, counsel for Plaintiff must notify the Court of the same and the Court will select the mediator and designate the date, time, and location for the mediation. The mediation will occur in person and no party or counsel will be permitted to attend the mediation remotely. Signed by Judge Anne-Leigh Gaylord Moe on 5/4/2026. (TAH)
