Sales up at coffee shop after supporting Charlie Kirk

California Coffee Shop Sees 312% Sales Surge After Supporting Charlie Kirk Despite Cancel Campaign

Sara De Luca, owner of Invita Café, didn’t get the memo about cowering before the aforementioned mobs.

Then something extraordinary happened. The real community—not the Twitter avatars or anonymous reviewers—showed up. Sales didn’t just recover; they exploded by 312 percent.
