Sodexo Operations,which handled concessions for the Blasters' inaugural season, but was then shown the door, is asking for $187,124.25, plus attorneys' fees and court costs.
According to the petition, the Blasters sent a letter to Sodexo January 25, saying the baseball team had failed to meet its revenue projections during its first year and "had to make deep cuts in its operating budget, including cuts in the concession management services."
On February 19, Sodexo responded, demanding payment of the unamortized amount of the $200,000 the company had put into the Blasters, as well as return of signage and remaining inventory.
Hopefully the city doesn't get brought into this. They told the Blasters to drop Sodexo and run it themselves""

This will be the Blasters' final season in Joplin. Then, they will be just a memory. Their stuff will be sold on ebay.

ReplyDeleteMaybe the city will help them out some more. More equipment and new road improvements around the stadium.Meanwhile we are told they cant fix the roads they have because "we are on a tight budget"
ReplyDeleteThey would not even be playing this year if it was not for the anonymous 50,000 bucks someone gave them
