Lawsuit may stem from pawnshop ordinance
0203pawn3
The city of Gainesville permitted renovations of the former Mrs. Winner’s restaurant on Jesse Jewell Parkway by TitleMax before realizing the site was too close to another pawnshop and a city ordinance therefore prevents it from opening.
The city of Gainesville is bracing for potential litigation after a new TitleMax was refused a certificate of occupancy and barred from opening for business. “We don’t want to make this situation any worse than it might already be,” Gainesville spokeswoman Catiel Felts said. “The city has to be very careful about what we say at this point.”
