We in no way meant to state that we are opposed to the Black Lives Matter movement\u2026 We now understand that flying this flag\u2014at this point in time, in particular\u2014was at best tone-deaf, and at worst offensive. We sincerely apologize to our customers and our neighbors for this egregious mistake, and want to assure you that this flag will never fly at Nellie\u2019s again.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
