A Penzeys Spices insider says founder and CEO Bill Penzey’s frequent left-wing rants in emails to customers have lost the company more than half of its retail business over the past five years.
“It’s been devastating,” explains the insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “In 2017, our retail operations department flat out said that Bill’s attacks had cost the company 50 percent of our customers.”
Penzey has for years made political assaults on Republicans and conservatives a routine part of his “A Note from Bill” emails to customers, but the insider says he ratcheted up his rhetoric after Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election. His emails made national news, but the publicity generated a backlash even from liberal customers.
