    The owner Christopher Klebba decided to fire the two black employees over MAGA criminals. The Supreme Court has allowed private companies to refuse service to anyone which MAGA fought hard to do when they asked the Supreme Court to allow them to refuse service to LGBT. But suddenly they don’t like it when it it happens to them? Political beliefs are not a “protected class”. Stop supporting businesses that victimize MAGA. They are the same that will fire anyone who says anything about Charlie Kirk but are okay with MAGA discriminating against others suddenly that’s “freedom of speech” when it’s them. Look up Erika Lindemyer and her husband Jake Lindemyer. These are the people owner Christopher Klebba chose to victimize and have his employees go to “training” over. He owns many businesses under “Northern Diamond Management”. Here are some his businesses to avoid! 

    He owns many Smoothie King businesses and planet fitness locations. They are all owned under “Northern Diamond Management”, which is also an equity management firm holding various franchise interests.

    Smoothie King: Operates numerous locations in Michigan via Northern Blends

    Buff City Soap: Owns locations, including one in Brighton featuring a “makery”.

    Single Barrel Social: A steak and bourbon restaurant in Brighton, MI.

    Altitude Trampoline Parks: Part of the Northern Diamond portfolio

    Poor guys, fired for doing a public service. They should have just done what everyone else does with maga customers and spat in their food. It’s a lot more subtle
