ST. LOUIS — Landlords are pursuing Fields Foods in court, as the city of St. Louis sues the grocer over delinquent taxes — revelations that comes after it abruptly shuttered a North County store earlier this month, saying it was seeking a sale to an employee group.

Fields' landlord for the store at 299 DeBaliviere Ave. in Skinker-DeBaliviere, which opened earlier this year as part of Expo at Forest Park, a $90 million, mixed-use development, said July 6 that a Fields business entity owes more than $44,000 in back rent.

Expo at Forest Park LLC, tied to Tegethoff Development, asked the St. Louis Circuit Court for possession of Fields' space, plus a judgment against the business. A listed number for the store was disconnected Tuesday. Fields hasn't responded to the case.
