The Camping World CEO claims he was forced to close down one of his North Carolina stores as he defied local politicians over the massive American flags flying over the locations.
Marcus Lemonis made the shocking revelation that one of the national RV dealerships in Greenville, NC, was shuttered on April 18.
Lemonis says he was forced to shut down operations at the smaller of the two locations after the city council sued him and the company for violating city ordinance with the larger-than-life flags, and continues to impose fines.
“We think the ordinance is wrong,” Lemonis told local radio station WTIB, according to WITN. ” I think it’s also wrong council members have been working very actively to disparage my business and on Friday I had to consolidate modification of 2 dealerships in town.”
The unexpected closing of Camping World’s Forest River RV retail comes as Lemonis continued his legal battle against the Greenville City Council and defied lawsuits to fly the massive “Old Glory.”
