Dave & Busters Latest To Challenge White Flint Mall Redevelopment — A second high profile tenant sued White Flint Mall last year over its redevelopment plans. Dave & Busters, the restaurant, bar and arcade space, sued the mall last November claiming its redevelopment plans violated the lease. Mall owner Lerner Enterprises fired back by claiming Dave & Busters technically was in violation of the lease since 2006, when it opened a location at Arundel Mills Mall in Hanover. That apparently is too close to the White Flint location, though Lerner allowed Dave & Busters continue to operate. It appears another longtime tenant at the old mall will be on the way out after it’s redeveloped into a mixed-use town center. Lord & Taylor filed a similar suit against the mall last summer.
