“Red Eye will vigorously defend the lawsuit, which appears to be nothing more than an attempt by a large cookie chain to stifle competition in the late-night cookie marketplace. Red Eye believes that customers recognize the unique value that the Red Eye brand brings to the marketplace and the role that Red Eye plays in serving our communities. Red Eye was the first to market in the Richmond area in the late-night cookie business and was opened by a long-time local resident. Red Eye has developed all of its own recipes, makes its dough from scratch, and takes pride in locally sourcing its flour, butter, and milk. Red Eye looks forward to moving beyond the pending litigation, but, in the meantime, Red Eye will continue making great cookies for the enjoyment of its customers and serving our local community.”
