New businesses in South Bend are usually met with great enthusiasm,
but a recently erected sign announcing a new “Yellow Deli” has caused
controversy among some in North Pacific County.
A photo of the
deli’s swirling yellow logo was posted on Facebook within days of it
appearing alongside U.S. Highway 101. The poster and subsequent sharers
on social media identified the Yellow Deli as one of many, all of which
belong to a religious group called the Twelve Tribes.

Growing awareness of the group’s plans to open a business in South Bend
has generated intense interest. A local woman’s July 9 Facebook posting
regarding Yellow Deli and Twelve Tribes was up to 329 comments and 37
shares by noon July 16. The tenor of comments ranges from hostility and
calls for a boycott to defenses of their choice to live how they choose,
so long as laws are obeyed.
