“To our much appreciated customers,

The Mugshots brand is spread across multiple states with an operating structure consisting of different owners and franchisees. Our views do not represent the views of the other locations, owners, or franchisees in any way.

The decision has gotten mixed reviews from customers to say the least.

This isn’t the first case of a Mississippi restaurant boycotting NFL games due to the anthem protests, as Fox’s Pizza Den in Brookhaven made a similar statement a few weeks ago.
