Farmer has owned a parking lot (accessible via alley) ever since he bought the Head Properties building back in July, but a pre-existing lease agreement allowed Magnolia Market employees and customers to park there.
On the next Monday morning, Farmer alleges that Gaines put up a gate across the alley to restrict access to the parking lot.
The lease expired on a Friday, according to the Waco Tribune-Herald, without Farmer and Chip Gaines having come to an agreement about a new lease.
The dispute started at the Gaines’ Magnolia Market design store in Waco, Texas, which is housed across an alley from a company called Head Properties, where plaintiff Daron Farmer is a managing member.
