It is my understanding that they sued the franchise, which then closed, and not the parent corporate entity. While they won against the franchise due to the default judgement, they didn't win against corporate. The store that is now closed is the franchise they sued.

Fairly certain it was actually someone affiliated with corporate who took over the franchise, but it is still a franchisee.
