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.
