CHARLESTON – Mayberry's Restaurant is facing a breach of contract suit over the lease of a commercial property in St. Albans.
St. Albans Center II LLC filed a complaint in Kanawha Circuit Court against Mayberry's Inc., doing business as Mayberry's Restaurant, Jaime Driggs, Lisa Driggs, Jeffrey Driggs and Robert Eggleton Jr. alleging breach of contract.
According to the complaint, Mayberry's and its then-president Eggleton entered into a contract with St. Albans on May 11, 2009, for a five-year lease on a commercial property on MacCorkle Avenue in St. Albans.
