On Sept. 25, 2024, the EEOC filed a lawsuit in federal court in Greensboro, N.C. against both Battleground Restaurants, Inc. and Battleground Restaurant Group, Inc., doing business as Kickback Jack’s. According to a press release, the lawsuit was for failing or refusing to hire men who applied to non-managerial, front-of-house positions since December 2019.

These positions include server, bartender and host/hostess, the release stated. The alleged employment practices violate federal civil rights laws.

Men who applied to ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ’s Kickback Jack’s, along with other restaurants in Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia who were not hired/hired into a different position are asked to contact the EEOC for possible inclusion in the sex discrimination case due to being potential claimants in the lawsuit.
