LOS ANGELES — Two Southland vendors have filed a lawsuit against Trader Joe’s accusing the specialty grocery store chain of manipulative business practices, breaking contracts and intentionally interfering with vendor relationships.
The lawsuit alleges the Monrovia-based Trader Joe’s coerced product suppliers and manufacturers in order to get those companies to cancel contracts with Natural Dairy Products (NDP) and Dairy Smart Inc. of Yorba Linda, which sell ice cream and other dairy products.
The grievances listed in the complaint includes intentional interference with contractual relations, unjust enrichment, breach of contract, and acting in bad faith.
