2018
Payment-card data breach
Caribou disclosed unauthorized activity affecting certain company-owned locations. The company stated that customer names and payment-card information, potentially including card numbers, expiration dates, and security codes, may have been accessed for transactions between August 28 and December 3, 2018. The incident also involved other businesses connected to the broader restaurant group and led to legal claims.
2002
Protest connected to Arcapita shareholder relationship
A protest targeted Caribou Coffee in 2002 because Arcapita, then known as First Islamic Investment Bank, was associated with Yusuf al-Qaradawi through its Sharia advisory structure. The issue concerned the company’s ownership and financial relationships rather than allegations about Caribou’s products or store practices.
