Description:
Sarah Fendley, the owner of Big City Coffee sued Boise State University, et al.
Plaintiff claimed she was forced to close her shop on the BSU campus in 2020.
"The case revolved around a “thin blue emblem” sticker that Big City Coffee had displayed on the outside of their downtown Boise location.
When Big City Coffee opened a location in 2020 at BSU, student activists spoke out, including one student who posted on Snapchat, stating, “I hope y’all don’t go there if you truly support your bipoc peers and other students, staff and faculty.” "
Row told jurors in closing arguments that BSU, which he described as Idaho's largest university "mistreated a small business instead of doing the right thing."
Outcome: Plaintiff's verdict for $4 million.
