Brix, the Omaha wine and liquor store which closed without warning last month, must surrender its inventory at Village Pointe to the bank holding a loan on the enterprise, according to a Douglas County District Judge. In a ruling Monday, Judge Marlon Polk ruled the inventory belongs to Mutual of Omaha Bank. The bank sued the owner of Brix last month, saying the store was delinquent on nearly $430,000 of a $1 million loan. The lawsuit sought the equipment, and all of the inventory in the store which was collateral for the loan. That includes all of the wine and liquor that was for sale in the store until it closed on January 12th. At least one liquor distributor, Johnson Brothers, filed a motion with the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission, seeking to prohibit Brix from selling any inventory at its Midtown Crossing location. As of Friday, 567 people had filed complaints with the Nebraska Attorney General over gift cards purchased from Brix which may be worthless.
