A San Francisco coffee shop is flattening the noise around its removal of Pride flags in stores as it plans on a new “unifying” piece of artwork. Philz Coffee CEO Mahesh Sadarangani did not apologize for the removal in a company-wide memo, but shared the company’s future plans and noted he could have communicated it better. “We hear and deeply understand that we did not handle changes to store decor as well as we should have, especially as true allies to the community,” he said.
