Mike Lindell’s MyPillow faces eviction for allegedly owing $450K in rent 01:37
SHAKOPEE, Minn. — Mike Lindell's MyPillow could face eviction from another one of its Twin Cities buildings after a landlord's lawsuit alleged the company is behind nearly $450,000 in rent payments.
The lawsuit, filed July 3 by Delaware-based Exeter, seeks to evict MyPillow from 2101 Fourth Avenue East in Shakopee.
MyPillow failed to pay rent for June and July, the suit alleges, and after paying down the debt with a $100,000 security deposit, the company still owes $447,603.99, "plus additional interest and attorney's fees," Exeter said.
"We have this resolved," Lindell told WCCO, though there have been no corresponding court filings to confirm that. WCCO has reached out to Exeter's attorney, but has not yet received a response.
MyPillow signed the lease with Exeter for the building in March 2017, according to the complaint.
A year ago, Lindell auctioned off industrial equipment and started subleasing some of MyPillow's manufacturing space in Minnesota, saying the auction reflected a change to a direct-to-consumer approach after big box retailers "canceled" the company.
A virtual hearing for Exeter's suit is scheduled for July 23.
