Downtown Indy’s Sugar Factory restaurant facing eviction, court records show

Downtown Indianapolis’ Sugar Factory restaurant is facing eviction due to failure to pay rent, according to a complaint filed in the Marion Superior Court in early March.

Sugar Factory American Brasserie currently occupies a Circle Centre Mall location at 49 W. Maryland St. It opened in the spring of 2022.

The complaint was filed by Circle Centre Mall LLC and alleges the restaurant owners owe hundreds of thousands of dollars in rent. Sugar Factory has been in default of its lease, due to failure to pay rent, since less than a year after it opened, court documents show.

Multiple attempts by IndyStar to contact representatives of Sugar Factory for comment were unsuccessful before publication of this article.

Sugar Factory is a celebrity-endorsed, over-the-top restaurant, candy store and bar. The chain is known for its goblet drinks, decadent sundaes and lavish entrees. The resturaunt has locations across the United States.

An attorney for Sugar Factory is not yet listed in online court records. A response to the complaint on behalf of the restaurant has not yet been filed.

The restaurant owed $333,778 in late rental payments when the mall first informed the restaurant that it was in default of its lease in January 2023.

In addition to rent payment issues, Sugar Factory was in default of its lease because it failed to provide and install proper storefront signage, the complaint from the mall states.

About a year after the restaurant was notified that it was in default of its lease, in January 2024, the restaurant was notified the mall was terminating the lease agreement due to “failure to cure neither the monetary default nor the default regarding proper signage,” court documents read.

Circle Centre Mall is asking the court to take possession of the premises and award damages, pre- and post-judgment interest and attorney’s fees.

An eviction hearing for the restaurant is set for May 1 at 11:30 a.m. in front of Marion Superior Court Judge Christina Klineman.

NOTEBOOK: Lions embracing road warrior mentality

It’s Thanksgiving in Detroit and that means it’s a short week to get ready for Thursday’s game at Ford Field against the Chicago Bears.

The Lions have some new injuries they are dealing with from the Colts game, though Campbell seemed optimistic about a few of them. Montgomery (shoulder), Decker (knee, ankle), cornerback Carlton Davis III (knee) and wide receiver Kalif Raymond (foot) left the game.

Decker and Montgomery said afterward they could have returned and should be good to go Thursday. Davis was standing on his leg talking to reporters and said it felt pretty good, but imaging would determine more. Campbell seemed more concerned about Raymond’s injury after the game.

“I don’t know Chicago’s deal yet. I don’t know what they’re dealing with, but I’m sure they’ve got injuries,” Campbell said. “Everybody’s got them, and the league doesn’t care. They make the schedule, and we play this and we roll, you know?

“Seven days later we got Green Bay. So be it, man and that’s the way it rolls, and we’ll be ready. We’ll have our unit ready to go Thursday back home, Thanksgiving, division opponent, and we’ll be locked in and ready to roll.”

Detroit hasn’t won on Thanksgiving since 2016, and that’s a streak they are looking to end Thursday.

“We haven’t won on Thanksgiving in a while and that’s something we want to change,” Goff said.

Pat McAfee on current Colts: ‘They hate me’

Pat McAfee on current Colts: ‘They hate me’

Pat McAfee played for the Indianapolis Colts, broadcasts his popular ESPN show from Indianapolis and has field-level seats for Colts games.

He’s beloved, right? Not lately.

“This current Colts team … I do believe I’m part of enemy camp. They hate me,” he said on NFL Network’s pregame show.

McAfee has openly talked about the Colts’ up-and-down season − including quarterback Anthony Richardson tapping out of a game for one play, and other locker room issues − and some Colts players have responded.

“I don’t think anybody on this Colts team is a fan of old Pat McAfee, and that’s OK, as long as they keep winning,” he said.

NFL Network’s Rich Eisen urged McAfee to pursue a truce with the Colts players, but he wasn’t having it. Of course, McAfee could be channeling his WWE persona here.

“If this war with the Colts players continues, there’s no way I’m spending any more time or money in that thing when I got a baby girl at my house that I can go hang out with,” McAfee said. “It’s quite a situation. It’s very much brewing. It’s very real.

“I’m not that type of guy. That’s not my M.O. I love Indianapolis. I love this city. If they gotta rally around hating me, so be it.”
