Case- Jannusch vs. Naffziger, 2008 Case fact-  Gene and Martha Jannusch owned Festival Foods, which served snacks at events throughout Illinois and Indiana. The business included a truck, servicing trailer, refrigerators, roasters, chairs, and tables. Lindsey and Louann Naffziger orally agreed to buy Festival Foods for $150,000, the deal including all the assets and the opportunity to work at events secured by the Jannuschs. The Naffzigers paid $10,000 immediately, with the balance due when they received their bank loan. They took possession the next day and operated Festival Foods for the remainder of the season. In a pretrial deposition, Louann Naffziger acknowledged orally agreeing to buy the business for $150,000. (Her admission under oath made the lack of a written contract irrelevant.) However, she could not recall making the agreement on any particular date. Gene Jannusch suggested the parties sign something, but the Naffzigers replied that they were “in no position to sign anything” because they had received no loan money from the bank and lacked a lawyer. Lindsey admitted taking possession of Festival Foods, receiving the income from the business, purchasing inventory, replacing equipment, and paying taxes and employees. Two days after the business season ended, they returned Festival Foods to the Jannusches, stating that the income was lower than expected. The Jannusches sued. The trial court ruled that there had been no meeting of the minds and hence no contract. The Jannusches appealed.

1. Case- Jannusch vs. Naffziger, 2008
Case fact-
Gene and Martha Jannusch owned Festival Foods, which served
snacks at events throughout Illinois and Indiana. The business
included a truck, servicing trailer, refrigerators, roasters, chairs,
and tables.
Lindsey and Louann Naffziger orally agreed to buy Festival
Foods for $150,000, the deal including all the assets and the
opportunity to work at events secured by the Jannuschs. The
Naffzigers paid $10,000 immediately, with the balance due

next day and operated Festival Foods for the remainder of the
season.
In a pretrial deposition, Louann Naffziger acknowledged orally
agreeing to buy the business for $150,000. (Her admission
under oath made the lack of a written contract irrelevant.)
However, she could not recall making the agreement on any
particular date. Gene Jannusch suggested the parties sign
something, but the Naffzigers replied that they were “in no
position to sign anything” because they had received no loan
money from the bank and lacked a lawyer. Lindsey admitted
taking possession of Festival Foods, receiving the income from
the business, purchasing inventory, replacing equipment, and
paying taxes and employees.
Two days after the business season ended, they returned
Festival Foods to the Jannusches, stating that the income was
