Our shopping center has parking on the middle and parking by the stores I think it is a violation!
However next door business is parking 2 monsterous van by their store and mine. Customers can't park because there is not enough room and people don't want to risk.
Once customer called police and they came. Nothing had happened apparently because I see those vans parked by me at least twice per week. And they sit there all day!
Who is to tell them off?

Maybe you could ask them nicely to move the vans before you tell them off?

WAit a minute, don't you take Walmart runs for your clientele because they don't have cars? Why do you need parking?

Maybe you could ask them nicely to move the vans before you tell them off? <<Sigh.>> Again with the logical suggestions.  I'd also check the city/county ordinance, to see if the vans (I'm assuming they are commercial vans, belonging to the business, with the business' signage on them) can park there legally. Sounds strange, but some jurisdictions do restrict when and where commercial vehicles can park. If they are in violation, they can be warned about it. If the warning does not work, they can be fined and towed. If they are not in any violation, then you may have to come to some kind of arrangement with them. |

Just throw your produce at them and then write them off as damaged goods. Let us know how it worked out!

Have you talked to your landlord - or whomever owns the shopping center? When we had a second location, part of the lease was that employees had to park in the rear - no exceptions. The lot in front was reserved for customers. Friends of mine who work at the local mall have to do the same. Maybe a certified letter to management, stating that this is hurting your business, will make them take action for you.

I like your idea of parking your truck in front of his store.

What would she get towed for? Legally parking in a parking space? If she can't get their vans towed it's a pretty safe bet that they couldn't get her truck towed either.
Not saying that antagonizing the neighboring businesses is a good idea, but there's not much they could do about her taking their parking spaces.

I think I'd looked pretty scary yesterday, they don't even park their own cars in front of their stores today!  Sometimes it pays to be wild, violent and unleashed!  |
