Philz Coffee Drops Flags Policy Across Its Shops
Bay Area-based Philz Coffee says it will remove Pride flags and all other flags from its stores nationwide, arguing the change is about store aesthetics rather than the brand’s core values and that everyone who walks in remains welcome. The policy shift has sparked criticism and concern about alienating customers, with officials unclear on when the flags will come down; Philz says it still supports the LGBTQ+ community.
