ST. LOUIS — Shuttered St. Louis grocer Fields Foods is facing more litigation.
Two new lawsuits have been filed against the former grocery chain. One suit, filed Monday by the Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council, claims Fields Food hasn’t made payments on a $500,000 letter of credit. The other, filed Sept. 16 by Leaf Capital Funding LLC, says Fields Food has defaulted on an agreement for the purchase of software and scanning systems.
Fields Foods reached six locations throughout the region, but stores began closing last year, as the grocery store chain laid off employees and was pursued for back rent by some of its landlords. Goodson tried to sell the chain to a new owner, but the remaining stores closed in September 2023.
Separately, A.T. Still University in January this year purchased 1500 Lafayette Ave., the site of one of the locations of Fields Foods, which shut down last year.
