The parent companies of Alteri Bakery Inc. claim in a lawsuit that Jreck Subs Inc. is in violation of an agreement requiring the sandwich maker's franchisees to buy all of their rolls from the Watertown business.

Seaway Valley Capital Corp. and North Country Operating Corp., both of Sackets Harbor, filed state Supreme Court action Tuesday at the Jefferson County clerk's office against Jreck, Watertown, New York Bakery Inc., Syracuse, and three Jreck officers, Christopher M. Swartz, Daniel R. Patterson and Gary P. Baker.

According to court documents, Jreck entered into an agreement in April 2002 with Pastry Product Producers LLC to supply rolls to Jreck within the state for 30 years. Alteri's is the successor to Pastry Product Producers and is therefore the beneficiary of the contract.
