Camping World Closes Greenville Location Amid Flag Controversy

Camping World's CEO, Marcus Lemonis, has reaffirmed his refusal to remove a large American flag at the company's Greenville, N.C. location, despite the city deeming it in violation of local size ordinances. Lemonis stated that the controversy and actions by the city council have negatively affected business, leading to the closure of one of the company's two Greenville dealerships. He criticized the ordinance as being contrary to state law and accused council members of disparaging his business. The Greenville City Council has voted to pursue legal action against Camping World over the flag. In response to a proposed compromise, Lemonis expressed willingness to donate $50,000 to a local children's hospital but did not want it tied directly to changes in the ordinance.
