Squeeze Inn Gets Squeezed Out…

Kimberly Block, a disabled Sacramento woman who filed a lawsuit against The Squeeze Inn, is claiming she suffered “embarrassment and humiliation”. Keep in mind, this happened in NOVEMBER! In a post here, we reported this story.

If Kimberly Block has her way, the Squeeze Inn may get squeezed out.

Well, it looks like Block got her wish…

Travis E. Hausauer, owner of the Squeeze Inn, said he will try to remain in the area where his restaurant made its name, but due to the lawsuit filed by Block, he will have to close down the current facility.

“It is too sad that it has to come about like this,” Hausauer said.

Devotees of his iconic burgers line up each day to occupy one of about a dozen seats at the counter or dine at outside picnic tables.
Hausauer’s announcement followed filing of a lawsuit in federal court alleging the Squeeze Inn breaks state and federal laws protecting the rights of people with disabilities.

“My plans are to close this location,” he said. “It would not be feasible to remodel the place. I will open another one in the south Sacramento area. People here have been great. I will do my best to stay in this area.”

He said retrofitting the old building to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards would cost too much.

“I would have had to rip the front and back of the building out,” he said. “Basically, the whole integrity of the building would be gone.”

Pathetic, just pathetic…
