For all of the rats that have infested Washington DC for decades, perhaps none have done as much damage as the rats that are currently residing in a Wisconsin Avenue Whole Foods in Washington D.C.
The store has been shut down for two years over the rodent infestation. Whole Foods and the owners of the building, Wical Limited Partnership, have been at war over whether or not Whole Foods can perform construction on the building.
Both sides have accused one another of violating the terms of their lease, so now a judge must decide whether or not an “Act of God” caused the rats to come to the store. If so, Whole Foods can do construction and get the people their Whole Foods back.
