Philz Coffee's decision to remove Pride flags from its 75 cafes in California and Chicago has been met with opposition in San Francisco, a city known for its distinctive pour-over brew. The company's CEO, Mahesh Sadarangani, stated that the move was part of a plan to foster a more consistent, inclusive experience across all stores. Some protestors believe this change may be due to the company's $145 million acquisition by the Los Angeles-based private equity firm Freeman Spogli & Co.
