Gilbert Sandwich Shop Owner Sues Brewery Over Wrongful Eviction and Arrest

Aaron Link, owner of the Philadelphia Sandwich Company, is suing the former owners of Flying Basset Brewing and their property management companies for breach of contract following a series of events that led to him being locked out of his business, arrested, and his equipment seized.

The conflict began with a sublease agreement intended to benefit both parties, given Flying Basset's available kitchen space and Link's food service. However, the relationship soured over disagreements on rent and lease terms, culminating in a dispute that has significantly impacted Link's personal and professional life.

Despite efforts to resolve the situation and clear evidence of up-to-date rent payments, Link was accused of trespassing and burglary, leading to legal complications.

Now cleared of charges, Link is taking legal action to recover his lost property and address the damages incurred from the ordeal, turning to the community for support in his ongoing legal battle.

Strong Seller's Market in Gilbert: Prices and Speed of Sales Climb

The real estate market in Gilbert has experienced a significant upturn, with the average sale price of homes soaring by nearly 15% over the past year to $677,380, markedly surpassing the Valley-wide average.

This price increase is reflected in the 211 homes sold in February, with a median price of $585,000. Phoenix REALTORS, a major real estate organization in the Valley, reports a rise in inventory levels and a growing interest from sellers, pointing to a potentially more dynamic market environment.

Gilbert sellers notably received a higher percentage of their asking price and saw their homes sell more quickly than elsewhere in the Valley. Despite uncertainties surrounding mortgage rates, the early signs of market stabilization and potential growth provide a hopeful outlook for both buyers and sellers in the region.
