Summary

            Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Polk County, Paul D. Scott, Judge.  REVERSED AND REMANDED.  Considered by Tabor, P.J., Buller, J., and Carr, S.J.  Opinion by Carr, S.J.  (8 pages)

            Green Family Flooring, Inc. (Green) appeals the district court’s decision finding Pistol Limited Co. (Pistol) did not breach the right of first refusal in the parties’ lease agreement.  OPINION HOLDS: Pistol could not defeat Green’s right of first refusal by requiring them to buy a larger property as part of a package deal.  A package deal cannot defeat a right of first refusal.  We reverse the decision of the district court and remand for further proceedings.
