April 1965, Berkeley Heights Shopping Center leased 11,514 square feet of space to A

other space in the center to another grocery store, and Drug Fair objected on the
grounds of the covenant not to compete. Berkeley maintains the covenant only applies
when the premises Drug Fair occupies are used as a grocery store operation. Who is
