Sugar Factory in Indianapolis Faces Eviction over Unpaid Rent to Landlord

In March, a complaint was filed by the landlord of Circle Centre Mall in Indianapolis against Sugar Factory subsidiary SF Indianapolis 88 LLC. The complaint stated that the subsidiary had been defaulting on its lease since January 2023, and owed over $333,000 in back rent.

Sugar Factory, a New York City-based restaurant known for its sweet treats and adult beverages, opened its Indianapolis location in April 2022 at 49 W. Maryland Street. However, it appears that the restaurant has fallen behind on its rent payments, prompting legal action from the landlord.

According to court filings in Marion County Superior Court 3, a letter was sent to Sugar Factory from Circle Centre Mall, LLC. outlining the outstanding debt and demanding payment. Despite this request, Sugar Factory has failed to make any payments towards the debt owed to the landlord.

As a result of these unpaid rents and defaulted lease terms, an eviction hearing for Sugar Factory has been scheduled for May 1st. It is clear that the landlord is taking action to resolve this issue and remove Sugar Factory from the premises if necessary.

The situation with Sugar Factory’s unpaid rent has caused tension between the restaurant and its landlord. This eviction could have significant consequences for both parties involved and may impact their future business dealings.

It is yet to be seen whether or not Sugar Factory will be able to make amends with its landlord and avoid eviction proceedings altogether. However one thing is certain; this incident highlights the importance of paying rent on time and adhering to lease agreements as they can have serious legal repercussions if ignored or violated.
