With the change in Jackson during the 1980's rents available for commercial space on the Square rose dramatically. In 1988, the then owners of the building attempted to evict the drug store. The courts refused the eviction. In the words of Mr. Justice Cardine of the Wyoming Supreme Court: The record indicates that Brazelton's motive for attempting to void the lease was to increase the rent from Jackson Drug, because the rent charged was lower than rents charged other businesses in the vicinity of Jackson Drug. We have the duty to sustain the legality of contracts fairly entered into if reasonably possible [citation omitted]. Absent overreaching, we will not aid one who discovers that he has made an unwise bargain in entering into a contract [citation omitted]. Brazelton asks us to do just that. We decline the invitation.
