A national RV dealer is in hot water again for flying a mammoth American flag at one of its lots — and company CEO Marcus Lemonis of TV’s “The Profit’’ says this one isn’t coming down, either. Camping World — which runs more than 250 RV dealerships across the country — raised the new gigantic flag at its Greenville, NC, location in October, according to WLBT. Local zoning officials say the Stars and Stripes fluttering over the RVs is 15 times bigger than allowed. Even the 120-foot flagpole is too big, coming in at nearly twice the height permitted by...

Camping World have hit back at California officials after they demanded the company take down their huge American flag from the front of their store. The RV sales store in Stockton, San Joaquin County, like the vast majority of their other outlets, has a huge Old Glory flying over its ground. In April, the San Joaquin County Community Development halted the flag however for alleged safety reasons and lack of permission.

In just a moment I am going to explain to you why Camping World CEO Marcus Lemonis is the stupidest CEO alive. In the meantime, after telling anyone who agreed with Trump's handling of Charlottesville "don’t shop at my business," Lemonis is now insulting the intelligence of his customers by straight up lying to them. I'm not the one making that claim. The leftwing Snopes is calling Lemonis out. Let's start with the full context of his original remarks: CNBC's Michelle Caruso-Cabrera: Marcus, you have a consumer-facing business, Camping World. So do you worry about — if you were on...

One of the biggest NASCAR sponsors lobbied to have the event moved. Camping World Chairman and CEO Marcus Lemonis wrote in a letter dated for Tuesday that neither he nor anyone from Camping World would participate in an event at any Trump property "due to recent and ongoing blatantly bigoted and racist comments from Donald Trump in regards to immigrants of the United States." Trump has made several comments about immigrants while on the campaign trail. "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best," Trump said when announcing his candidacy for the Republican nomination last month. "They're sending...

Serial entrepreneur Marcus Lemonis had some choice words on Wednesday about those who may support President Donald Trump's response to the violent white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. "There's no doubt that there is probably not many consumers in this country today that are in favor of what has been said in the last couple days and if they are, quite frankly, don't shop at my business," said Lemonis, who is CEO ofCamping World and host of CNBC's "The Profit." In a chaotic Tuesday news conference, Trump appeared to equate torch-bearing white nationalists with the protesters who demonstrated against them.

From the “you just had to know THIS was coming” department, the CEO of the recreational vehicle and equipment chain Camping World is already backing down from statements that he made suggesting that some supporters of President Trump should shop elsewhere. The remarks of Marcus Lemonis have come back to bite him in the ass big time as he seems to be finding out just how many millions of dollars that his loose tongue and arrogance could cost him if Trump supporters took his advice and spent their hard-earned dollars at businesses owned by competitors. Now he is claiming that...

...This was about as juicy a story as ever told on “The Profit” and it ended with Marcus walking away from an investment for the first time in this new season. He spent about $100,000 for capital improvements and upgrades to the systems at The Soup Market, but left without regret. His deal with Dave Jurena, the surviving owner was to invest $350,000, take 50% of the company and be 100% in charge, as we knew he would. They shook on it, but trouble and confusion began immediately. The episode should have been called “Who Is Grace and Why Isn’t...

Anybody else out there see the latest episode of "The Profit?" Tonight's business was 240Sweet a gourmet marshmallow company and both owners were slime but owner Sam in particular was a complete MONSTER. Easily the WORST person ever on "The Profit" and possibly the WORST real life person even in the history of TV. At the end it was like her inner devil came out. It was the one show that needed an exorcist even more than Marcus Lemonis.

Tonight on The Profit Marcus Lemonis is in Denver, Colorado with hopes of making a deal with KOTA Longboards. KOTA Longboards is a skateboard company owned by former US Navy pilot Mike Maloney that specializes in handcrafted high quality longboards. The problems the company faces include a high employee turnover rate and a limited production line. Also, Marcus brings in skateboarding legend and entrepreneur Rob Dyrdek to offer some advice on this episode.
