Well, they're getting a lot of free advertising. And perhaps they'll use it as an excuse to close underperforming stores and blame it on politicians...

Desperate times... desperate measures. P.R. stunts for publicly traded companies sometimes yield a short lived stock bump to keep shareholders from jumping ship. What's next? A 50 x 100 foot sign detailing how they improved customer relations??

If you read the article, that's actually what they did. They consolidated two stores in the area. Marcus had already won one of these "flag fights" in another town in NC a couple of years ago.

Fwiw the loss of CW is not a loss it’s a benefit. The store in Valencia Ca. Is turn to Rv dealer then RV supply store and it has the reputaion of a dealer ( nothing to be proud of ). FYI I don’t have anyone for the big jobs when they arise but CW never was a option.

We used to have sucha good cw.
They closed it early.
It's the first post in my signature thread.
Great mechanics (3 out of 7)
Great manager.
So fast, so good.
Me telling this to folks is like a ww2 veteran saying how much he enjoyed the Third Reich.
The flag thing isn't new.
They've been sued before and probably since the day they started the
big flag
Thing.

It's not a flag thing.
It's a signage-size civil enforcement issue.
Many other companies face the same thing.

One of the major truck stops quit doing the flag thing.
