On the morning of February 7, 2014, a coffee shop called Dumb Starbucks Coffee opened in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. The shop stated that they were operating as a parody of the global coffee company and coffeehouse chain Starbucks and utilized the chain’s siren logo in their signage, cups, and other materials.
The shop mocked items standard to most Starbucks’ locations such as Norah Jones CDs and drinks by using the term “Dumb” in front of the names, such as “Dumb Norah Jones Duets” and “Dumb Iced Vanilla Latte”. Beverages and pastries were distributed free of charge. A few days later, Starbucks announced that they were not affiliated with the shop and that they were “evaluating their next steps” due to the shop deliberately attempting to mimic the look of a legitimate Starbucks location.
The identity of the person behind the shop was not released initially, and various artists and comedians such as Banksy and Tim & Eric were theorized to be involved with the prank (the latter’s production company Abso Lutely Productions had applied for a filming permit at the Dumb Starbucks Coffee location).
On February 10, 2014, the shop was closed by the Los Angeles County Health Department for not having the permits required to operate a coffee shop. Shortly thereafter, Fielder announced that he was behind the parody and the Los Angeles Times noted the prank’s similarity to other skits performed on Fielder’s show Nathan for You.
Nathan Fielder started a not-for-profit company called Summit Ice Apparel in 2015, after learning that the Vancouver-based company Taiga posted a tribute to Holocaust denier Doug Collins. He decided to start his own company and produce soft shell jackets. This endeavor was shown during Season 3 of Nathan for You. 100% of Summit Ice Apparel’s profits go to the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre in Vancouver.
The company had close to $500,000 in sales in the first three months. In March 2017, he opened up a pop-up shop in Vancouver where members of the public could buy Summit Ice Apparel or exchange their Taiga jacket for a Summit Ice jacket. Nathan Fielder himself worked the register. A film crew was also on-site.
