Due to them no paying rent for the last 3 months the landlord, David Dunlap was forced to shut them down. RunTex had not paid rent since January. Part of the company’s problems have resulted in failed attempts at expanding the companies brands. Trying to expand too quickly caused them a lot of personal and financial stress. RunTex’s Farwest store is also behind on rental payments and the owner, Paul Carrozza is looking for help from investors.
