I wouldn't assume they're losing money. I've been a loyal customer of theirs for a couple years now, and have found their prices very fair, and have spent at least a thousand dollars alone. I assure you, I'm not the only one that has given them a fair chunk of change over their tenancy. Also, as a side note, since I've started buying from them, they have only raised prices ONCE, and even that was only about 20 cents a bag on average (for what I buy). Over the course of the last 2+ years that's certainly very fair.
The issue appears to be more the landlord has decided to make his OWN improvements on the property, and after deciding what to do, calling it a "legal requirement" and doing it, has charged a rate that may or may not be fair.
Without having access to all the proof I cannot say who is right or wrong, but from speaking with the employees there, Hina dropped several hundred thousand on the initial TI (tenant improvements) a few years back, and wasn't interested in spending more on an overinflated price from the landlord's idea of "required new improvements".
Don't assume its a lack of business that is forcing eviction. Assuming will never net you the accurate results, and certainly won't get you by in life. It will only get you into trouble.
Word to businesses out there! Never deal in a lease that lists the landlord as having the ultimate control over your contractors! If you have no control, you could end up paying twice or more the standard rate for construction with no legal grounds!
