Lucy owned twelve hotels in the Grand Rapids area. She contracted with Evan Automated Services, Inc. ("EAS") to install and maintain vending machines in each of her hotels. Six months after the contract was signed, Carson Vending, Inc. ("CVI") purchased all of EAS's assets. As a result, EAS's contract with Lucy was assigned to CVI. Lucy had dealt with CVI before, and although it provided identical products, she preferred EAS because she liked the way that EAS ran its business. After the assignment, Lucy terminated her vending machine contracts and signed new contracts with Jordan Valley Machine Services. CVI sued Lucy for damages for breach of contract.
