Owner of Salt Lake City’s Eccles Theater files a countersuit, alleges caterer owes venue $300,000

After being sued by a Utah caterer for allegedly breaking its concession contract, the government-led agency that owns Salt Lake City’s Eccles Theater filed a counterclaim this week, stating that the food provider owes the venue at least $300,000 in unpaid rent and building improvements.

Cuisine Unlimited “is in breach of its agreement with the Eccles Theater and has been for almost two years,” according to the counterclaim filed in 3rd District Court by the Utah Performing Arts Center Agency (UPACA).

UPACA asserts the caterer brought in $1.8 million in revenues between October 2016, when the theater opened, and May 2018, when Cuisine ended its contract.
