CHICAGO, IL - Roundy’s has filed action against the Chicago grocery chain Dominick’s Finer Foods for more than $563,000 in property taxes.

In a complaint filed to the federal court, Roundy’s states that Dominick's has failed to pay property taxes for three Chicago-area store locations.

Dominick's paid Roundy's the amount owed on one store, according to the Chicago Tribune. Ann Maher, the attorney representing Roundy's, told the publication Friday, however, that the chain still owes on other properties.

"This is simply an issue related to post-closing proration of property taxes on two stores,” Brian Dowling, spokesman for Albertsons, said in regards to the action filed against Dominick’s, according to the report. Albertsons inherited Dominick’s when it merged with Safeway, the chain’s original parent, last year. “We have been working to resolve the matter and will continue to do so."

According to the filing, Dominick's was responsible for the property taxes on the three properties as they accrued per the purchase agreement it enter with Roundy’s for those locations in late 2013.

"Despite repeated demands, Dominick's has failed and refused to pay," the complaint stated.

Roundy’s was recently acquired by Kroger, including its other Chicago chain, urban format Mariano's. 11 of Mariano’s 34 stores are former Dominick’s.
