KSMU wasn’t immediately successful in reaching Barc-ee's with a voicemail message seeking comment on Thursday, but online the Marshfield business says it combines the "joys of a dog park with the relaxation of a coffee & food shop and the adventure of a western-themed miniature city for children."
Barc-ee's also says it's "temporarily closed" on its website.
The lawsuit by Buc-ee's of Texas alleges "trademark infringement, trademark dilution, unfair competition and false designation of origin, misappropriation, and unjust enrichment.”
The suit seeks monetary damages and the destruction of any products Buc-ee's considers to be an infringement of their trademark rights.
The news was first reported by Springfield Daily Citizen, which notes Buc-ee's also sued a liquor store in Kimberling City last year. The name of the business in that lawsuit was Duckees.
