- gnabgib 1y agoWell there's this Philz Coffee close to closing deal to sell to private equity firm for $145M (62 points, 12 days ago, 80 comments) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44760902 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44760902 And subsequent: Philz Coffee sold to private equity firm Freeman Spogli for $145M
