Wood entered into a lease agreement with Metropolitan Huntington for 3,124 square feet of property at 912 Third Ave. in Pullman Square to open the restaurant Moe's Southwest Grill. The defendant entered into a 10-year lease agreement with a monthly minimum rent of $3,905 during the first two years, with escalations during the third year to $4,555.83 and during the sixth year to $5,141.58.
