Breakfast Shed owing $.4M in legal fees

The Breakfast Shed, which has served the country for the past 30 years, has been the subject of heated dispute within the past few months, after Udecott was commissioned by the Government to build a $1.2 billion waterfront complex at the restaurant’s present site.

The waterfront complex will consist of a 22-storey building, conference room, exhibition space, three function rooms, shopping facilities, parking lot, multi-storey building, translation booth, media room and a four or five star hotel, and will be completed in 2007.

The area is Government’s designated site for the Free Trade of the Americas headquarters, however this country has not yet been chosen to be the site’s headquarters.

The 15 stall owners, believed the money offered by Udecott was not enough to share among the 70 workers, and have something to "take home." The women were hoping for a better cash offer. The women were offered $93,000 per stall, or a relocation site.

Five out of the 15 owners accepted the $93,000 and said they would not be moving to the new site, which is at the eastern end of the project site and the Brian Lara Promenade.

Ten women would move to the new location.

The new site would be completed in three months. Kenneth Munroe Brown was unavailable for comment.
