There's changes at Jumbo King Burger in Spring Valley
because Burger King filed a civil case earlier this month.
They're like a self-proclaimed behemoth
with 15,000 locations worldwide.
Then why are you intimidated by little old me?
Rajana Jethwa is the same longtime owner of the former BK here.
She now legally cannot use the word king or sell hamburgers for a year.
She says Burger King pointed to a non-compete clause in the contract.
She's not giving up.
No matter what it takes, we're going
to succeed all the way to Shark Tank.
It's a change impacting all three of her locations.
An attorney we spoke with about
this says judges typically weigh both sides.
The court's looking to the balance to protect the one
who just provided you all of the knowledge.
And then also for the person who received all of the knowledge,
they don't want them to be obstructed from ever working again.
Now, customers will find chicken on the menu
and the same employees who have worked there for years.
This being changed is pretty good. Pretty good.
