Johnson v. Supervalu

Type of Case: Constructive fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress

Court: Richmond Circuit Court

Attorneys: Verbena Askew, Hampton, assisted by Christopher Anderson, Robert Walker, Leonard Lambert and Gina Burgin, all of Richmond

Summary: Jonathan F. Johnson, considered the nation’s most successful minority grocer in the late 1990s, contended that Minneapolis-based Supervalu forced him to buy a grocery chain at an inflated price and then agreed to new financing under a deal that was structured in a way that he could not succeed.

Johnson and his company went out of business in April 2004. The Supreme Court of Virginia granted an appeal on Dec. 17.
