Frozen yogurt shop owners are getting death threats for paying tribute to Charlie Kirk. Sarah and Chase Gibson, who own a frozen yogurt spot called Grooveberries in Coeur d’Alene, have started placing memorial stickers on their red cups. The stickers have a photo of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and the years “1993-2025” beneath his name. What sounds like a simple tribute has led to the Gibsons receiving a barrage of death threats for their actions.
Sarah Gibson told Fox News Digital that the backlash has been intense. “We have been receiving hate. Even someone saying we should be dead,” she said. Grooveberries has been hit with direct emails and a ton of hateful reviews on Facebook, all due to a tribute for Charlie Kirk, who was murdered recently.
In in one of the emails the couple shared with Fox News Digital, they were called “sick” for their choice. “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.” Another message they got even said, “Better not make a black and white Charlie Kirk recipe.”

The Facebook reviews are just as bad, with one person calling the owners “White supremacists” and telling people not to give them their money. Another user said, “I don’t like fascism mixed in my yogurt.” A different person accused the couple of using “a fascist’s death to increase prices to rip off other fascists. Guess I actually support that.”.
The Gibsons plan to reach out to Meta to see if the hateful comments can be removed from their Facebook page. According to Sarah Gibson, “People need to know that this is how [those on] the Left choose to handle people they don’t agree with.” She feels that the backlash they’ve faced has only strengthened their community’s resolve to stand up for their beliefs.
The Gibsons opened Grooveberries in 2021 after the coronavirus pandemic. They’ve made it clear on their website that “their faith is the cornerstone of their lives and work.” So it’s not a big surprise that they are standing firm in their beliefs. Sarah Gibson is already doubling down, saying she’s placed another “huge order” of the Kirk stickers.
She wants to keep the cups available for as long as people want them. They’re also tracking all the sales and plan to send the funds to Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk, for a “blueberry budget,” which is a reference to something Mrs. Kirk said in her public statement after her husband’s assassination.
