Frozen yogurt joint 'receiving hate' and death threats following Charlie Kirk tribute Grooveberries owners order more tribute stickers as negative messages flood their social media

A small business in Idaho is receiving backlash for paying tribute to Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.


Grooveberries Frozen Yogurt in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho has been placing stickers with a photo of the conservative activist on its red cups, with "1993-2025" shown beneath his name.

Sarah and Chase Gibson, owners of Grooveberries and the parents of three children, told Fox News Digital they have received death threats for honoring Kirk’s legacy. "We have been receiving hate. Even someone saying we should be dead," said Sarah Gibson.

A main reason for the outpouring of community support they've received, she said, is likely due to the initial hate that came their way. "I love how supportive our community is," said Sarah Gibson. "Their support for Charlie and what he stands for completely outshines the negativity."

Grooveberries has received direct emails to the shop and a slew of hateful reviews on Facebook.

As shared with Fox News Digital, one email said, "You guys are sick. … The man is dead, thank God for that, you guys should be dead for what you're doing, selling products [about] a piece of s--- person."

"Better not make a black and white Charlie Kirk recipe," said another message, in part.

One Facebook review called the shop owners "White supremacists," telling other people not to give them their money.

"I don't like fascism mixed in my yogurt," posted one user.

Another person said, "Imagine using a fascist's death to increase prices to rip off other fascists. Guess I actually support that."

The owners said they plan to reach out to Meta to see if the troubling comments can be removed.

"People need to know that this is how [those on] the Left choose to handle people they don’t agree with," said Gibson.

Fascists are the ones who have to kill those they disagree with because their arguments lose on merit and facts.

They all say the same crap don't they. "White supremacist, fascist, Nazi, Hitler. I assume this is because they are all indoctrinated from the same handbook.

It's all they have and it exemplifies what small, uneducated minds they have.

She might also dislike the Coeur D’Alene cold.

She grew up in Grande Prairie, Alberta. She can handle it.

CdA is in the "Inland Northwest." Winter temps are actually quite mild here, nothing like Alberta. Our climate is moderated somewhat by the Pacific Ocean. Just over the mountains east of us (beginning of the Rockies) lies Montana and it gets a LOT colder over there.

The cloudiness and overcast from October to May is a bit of a bother, but we do get a lot of sunny skies in the winter that are magnificent. I make it a point of getting out and walking or hiking three or four days a week in the winter. Here are some shameless travelogue winter time pics of mine...

The Coeur d'Alene Resort puts on a magnificent Christmas display and a fun tour to the "North Pole"...

Whatever you do, don't let the missus into the "Lady's Hardware Store"...

I assume this is because they are all indoctrinated from the same handbook Dem pols and mainstream "news" outlets.
