Des Moines restaurant Noah's Ark could close

A family dispute could put Noah's Ark out of business, according to a recent court filing from the longtime Des Moines restaurant's management.

Catch up fast: Noah Lacona, who started the restaurant in 1947, died five years ago.

A faction of Lacona's family, who represents a trust that owns the real estate where the restaurant is located, is disputing over a lease with relatives who operate the business, the Iowa Capital Dispatch reports.
The restaurant's management is seeking an emergency injunction to prevent the trust from terminating the lease at 2408 Ingersoll Ave.

What's ahead: A hearing is scheduled Friday.
