It has been brought to our attention that a certain group has planned a boycott for Thursday in Pikeville KY of Applebee’s Restaurant and two Wendy’s Restaurants’ , all owned by Teresa and Marty Johnson, because they are big supporters of coal and proudly display their support for Coal Mining Our Future, Coal for Kids, and Friends of Coal in their places of business and refuse to remove the displays.
