Sammy Hagar<\/strong>\u00a0is fighting to close down an unauthorized franchise of his Cabo Wabo Cantina restaurant in Hollywood, California.<\/p>\n

Lawyers for the former\u00a0Van Halen<\/strong>\u00a0frontman\u2019s company, Red Head Inc., filed a lawsuit in January claiming franchisee\u00a0Robert Azinian\u00a0<\/strong>opened a new Cabo Wabo location in December 2023, despite having his licensee deal with the company terminated.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Cabo Wabo brand is highly distinctive and has achieved recognition with the consuming public as being associated with premium quality goods and services,\u201d read the original suit. \u201cEvery day that the Cabo Wabo Cantina at the new Hollywood location continues to operate under the \u2018Cabo Wabo\u2019 brand, it soils the name, reputation, and goodwill that Red Head has developed.\u201d<\/p>\n

In new documents filed earlier this month, the lawyers have\u00a0asked\u00a0the court to grant an injunction to stop\u00a0Azinian from using the Cabo Wabo name, or Hagar’s name and likeness, for the restaurant.<\/p>\n

Hagar\u2019s lawyers argue that due to the unauthorized use of the name, the rocker\u2019s company \u201chas no oversight, control, or even visibility as to the quality\u201d of the restaurant,\u00a0in areas like staffing, d\u00e9cor and more, which is causing confusion with patrons.<\/p>\n

Hagar opened the original Cabo Wabo Cantina in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in 1990, and has gone on to open several other locations across the U.S.<\/p>\n
