I saw on Indeed. She said they will be opening in Moore. She said it would be near Harley Davidson. That's all the info she had. I connected to her. So I will keep you informed on more information.

This is the company that is endorsed by accused murderer Kyle Rittenhouse, right?

Agreed, I long for the day when we can get back to judging a business on the quality of products and service.

Yeah I too can’t wait for companies to not willingly sign endorsement deals with accused killers.

Yes, can we get back to the days when we didn't criticize General Motors and IBM for colluding with Nazis during the Holocaust? Or Henry Ford for publishing anti-Semitic papers just for his dealerships? Most good ol' days rhetoric is a lot more nostalgia than reality. Consumers have always rightly judged companies on their ethics.

With today's world and social media, it just seems more difficult. Good or bad, once something takes off, it's easy for people to judge (right or wrong)

does this article from back in november give you the impression that the company personally signed an endorsement deal with rittenhouse?

Black Rifle Coffee Company addresses connection to Kyle Rittenhouse (abc4.com) (https://www.abc4.com/news/utah-based-coffee-company-address-connection-to-kenosha-shooter/)

That helps! So not a paid endorsement deal, just wanted to throw their t-shirt on him and say he drinks “the best coffee in America.”

the "best coffee in america" tweet was made by a guy named eric schaffer... is he one of the company's owners? if not, do you have any information that indicates that the tweet and shirt were authorized by the company?

It came from a representative of a company that by that article they have a marketing relationship with:


Black Rifle Coffee Company said they did not end their marketing relationship with Blaze Media. “We believe in what they put out. We believe in that relationship,” said Hafer.

It may not have been them specifically but it was by people they have chosen to continue associating with after the incident in question.

now that, i think is fair. but that's a rather different scenario than the claim that the company "willingly sign[ed] endorsement deals with accused killers"

I am so confused and weirded out how people are making coffee political. Like this place just seems wrong. The whole “wanting to be coffee for conservatives”. Jesus people are so weird. Drink your coffee. You don’t like Starbucks? Choose local. Am I the only one that thinks this is so stupid. I mean great business idea (because people are dumb and fall for anything) but still unnecessary.

The people who make fun of "libtards" for needing safe spaces create a coffee shop for their own safe spaces.

Other countries? Most every decent sized city has coffee shops that cater only to certain groups. Coffee shops have long been associated with political discourse.

Catering to certain groups is very different than "specific political ideology used as a status symbol" which was the question posed and quoted by you in your response.

I went this weekend. It had good coffee, which is all that mattered to me. I don't care where the proceeds go. Maybe that's just me.

I'm not sure there's really a difference. Does Black Rifle Coffee actively turn away anti-Trumpers? I don't know about OKC, but in Denver there are a number of coffee shops and other small businesses that make it clear with signs and symbols by their doors that conservatives are not welcome. There is even one openly Pro-Trump shop (Trumped Gift and Coffee House) that's still open. So, l have to disagree with you.

No matter, the bottom line is you can always buy your coffee at another shop.

It seems most people don’t care where the proceeds go unless an establishment promotes itself heavily on what they stand for beyond their products, which is what the conversation seems to be about to this point.

I would agree with Pete. I rarely see businesses, even coffee shops, promote themselves on political stances. There are a number of things that have little to do with politics that have become political, alas the inclusivity signs that can be found throughout cities like Portland and San Francisco, but I find it hard to call those political stances. I see them more as support for marginalized groups. Seeing as how so many things become political in America, I can see that it is probably hard for people that view everything through a political lens to make the distinction, but from the way that I personally approach it, I think there is a distinction. I’m sure there are businesses that put up the inclusivity signs with political ideas in mind but I don’t find the things the signs label themselves to be political.

(I’m not saying you’re talking about the inclusivity signs; that is what I am using as a reference as I have heard people mention those specifically as being political)

mugofbeer

These are definitly the oppositevof IN-clusivity signs that l'm talking about.

You'll never see many businesses that would do this because it automatically excludes half your potential clients but some few don't care.

I'm done. Drink their coffee or go elsewhere. That's how the market works and why choices are always good.

We falsely make everything political. It's like saying dogs are animals. Bears are animals. Therefore dogs are bears. Social stances may be supported by certain people who ALSO belong to certain political groups, but it doesn't make the stance political.

Seems like they are really growing. I think they even had one store a year or two ago. I still haven’t been but looks interesting.

It has good coffee. I have never cared who owns a business, if the product is quality. I like the Moore location.
