TV’s ‘The Profit’ to visit store with enormous American flag

May 30, 2019 | 11:17 AM

STATESVILLE, N.C. — The reality television star responsible for an oversized American flag at a recreational vehicle store he owns in North Carolina says he’s visiting the location to support the employees.

Marcus Lemonis plans to visit Gander RV in Statesville on Thursday. Lemonis said Wednesday that he wants to meet with employees “frustrated by the distraction” caused by the controversy about the flag.

The city of Statesville sued Gander RV over the flag, which violates its ordinance limiting the size of flags. City officials said Thursday that they’ll likely change the ordinance so the Gander RV flag can stay.

Lemonis wants no restrictions on the size of American flags, provided there are no safety issues.
