Just one day after he told KENS 5 that he would continue to sell it, Dixie Flag Company owner Pete Van de Putte confirmed Tuesday that the store will no longer sell the Confederate Battle Flag.
He confirmed just after 6 p.m. that the decision was effective this afternoon. Upon reviewing the company's website, KENS 5 found that the flag was still for sale.
By 6:30, the site had the flag listed as "out of stock."
In an email, Van de Putte said because the company does not have direct control of the website, the flag will probably be completely removed sometime Tuesday night. He added that in the meantime, the flag will be listed as "out of stock."
