Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound owners file countersuit
TRENTON The Pettegrow family, owners of the Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound, has filed a counterclaim against Lobster 207, which purchased the lobster pound’s wholesale operation and has accused the family of embezzlement, theft and breach of contract.
In the new claim filed in federal district court earlier this month, the Pettegrows, who continue to run the Trenton Bridge restaurant, contend that Lobster 207 broke its agreements with the family, engaged in smear campaigns to get out of contractual obligations and made the Pettegrows scapegoats for Lobster 207’s own failings. Warren Pettegrow, who had been running the family wholesale business at the time of the sale, and who stayed on to run it when Lobster 207 took over, has also filed a similar counterclaim.
