Americans have been gathering nationwide to mourn the death of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk as a small business in Idaho goes out of its way — in its own way — to honor his legacy.
Grooveberries Frozen Yogurt in Coeur d’Alene has been placing stickers with a photo of the conservative activist on its red cups, with “1993-2025” shown beneath his name.
Chase Gibson, owner of Grooveberries, told Fox News Digital on Sunday that the items are “flying off the shelves.”
Sarah Gibson, wife of Chase Gibson, said they began putting the stickers on their frozen yogurt cups on Saturday.
“Charlie Kirk died a martyr for his faith in Jesus Christ,” she said. “He spoke the truth even when it was hard. He never backed down from his stance on spreading the truth with the goal of saving the lost.”
Sarah Gibson said Kirk’s legacy needs to be honored and his messages continued.
“We refuse to allow his voice to go silent,” she said. “The world as a whole needs us to continue carrying his message forward in his earthly absence.”
The first order of 500 stickers was placed through Amazon, the couple said.
She said they’re looking to support any local businesses that can help them keep up with the current demand.
“We have gotten an extreme amount of support. We are so uplifted by knowing that our community shares our same desire to keep Charlie’s legacy alive,” she said.

She added, “We feel honored with the highest obligation to use our public platform in his honor.”
Customers have been sharing their dessert cups by posting photos and reels on their social media accounts.
The Gibsons opened Grooveberries in 2021 after the coronavirus pandemic. They’ve written on their website that “their faith is the cornerstone of their lives and work.”
“For the Gibsons, every decision — whether it’s serving customers or raising their children — reflects their guiding belief: Jesus is King,” it also notes.
Sarah Gibson has been placing daily orders of the Kirk stickers, she said.
She’s already placing another “huge order” to continue making the cups available for as long as consumers demand them.
