John Lanenga. the owner of Just Add Chocolate, said the store took down the name, which they’ve had for four years, at around noon Thursday and issued an apology on social media. "I deeply apologize and commit to being more sensitive about the messaging of our chocolate," wrote Lanenga. Lanenga said Just Add Chocolate received many calls and messages Thursday, most of which were very aggressive and used foul language against him and his store.
"We had the name, this particular name, has been here for four years, and we had one other complaint about it three years ago," explained Lanenga."I like to have fun. I don't want to poke fun. I want to have fun. I don't want to minimize anybody's suffering or hurt; when you know better, you'll do better. You know, we found out. We found out better."
