According to a complaint filed in April 2018, Steaks of Virginia partners -- Tassos Paphites, Christakis Achilleos and William Dragas -- claimed that Steak 'n Shake, a subsidiary of San Antonio-based Biglari Holdings Inc., agreed to let the franchisee set its own prices for menu items in its franchise disclosure documents. But when it came to a request to increase prices, the company did not allow it, breaking those franchising and development agreements, according to the complaint.
