A store in Virginias Shenandoah National Park sold wine produced by the Trump Winery as recently as September.
The stores are operated by Delaware North Cos., which agrees to pay fees to the National Park Service (NPS) based on the annual revenues of its operations on park property. They sell numerous items for parkgoers, like food and souvenirs.
Mark Leach, who manages the Shenandoah stores for Delaware North, said NPS and park managers had no role in the wine purchase decisions. He said they simply encourage him to buy local products. The Trump winery is located about 30 miles from Shenandoah.
Primarily, we try to buy from Virginia, he said. They ask that we carry regional products as much as possible. ... Leach said he hasnt bought Trump wine since the summer.
