A family-owned coffee cart suffered a major setback to its business after an Arizona hospital banned it due to its name and logo.

Graveyard Shift Coffee announced on social media that the Mayo Clinic Hospital in Phoenix told them they were no longer welcome due to its branding.

The coffee cart’s logo features a skeleton dressed in green scrubs with a stethoscope around its neck, holding a cup of coffee.

‘This trailer was made for the night shift workers at hospitals. The graveyard shift, hence the name and the logo with the skeleton and the scrubs,’ Tyler Tremaine, who co-owns the business with his father Michael, told AZ Family.

‘Our own little niche,’ added his sister, Sierra Tremaine, who works as a barista.

Tyler said they had been serving coffee at the hospital on Mondays and Fridays from 9pm to 1am for two years, and the ban means they have lost 40 percent of their business.

‘We just received a call Monday afternoon that our logo and our name is offensive and that we are no longer allowed to be on their premises after going there for two years,’ he told Fox 10.

‘I wish I knew what happened or who said something. I didn’t get any information on that, but the staff has known about us for two years. I can say that for sure. The staff has been coming out consistently for two years and there has been no issues.’

The Tremaines said they were told that one person complained, leading the Mayo Clinic to cancel all future bookings.

‘Our name and our logo was offensive. The skeleton and the word “graveyard”,’ he said.

‘Been the same for three and a half years, never been an issue before at any other hospital.

Sierra added, ‘This is just so out of nowhere. We’re trying to portray how the workers feel.’

‘Out of all of the good feedback, they got one complaint, and that was it for us.’

The coffee truck operates at other hospitals throughout the week, including Phoenix Children’s, Abrazo Central and Scottsdale Osborn.

The menu features cheekily named drinks such as Bloody Eye, Bone Crusher, Murder Spice and Nutty RN.

Tyler explained that his father drew inspiration to open the business from his own experience as a first responder.

‘He saw that the graveyard shift never got catering, or if there was catering, there was always leftovers and cold pizza and that sort of thing, so we created this business to give the people who work night shifts a nice little treat for themselves,’ he said.

The siblings said getting banned from the Mayo Clinic has taken both an emotional and financial toll.

‘All we want to do is pay our bills and put a smile on people’s faces,’ said Tyler. ‘My grandma’s been working for free for three and a half years.’

Graveyard Shift Coffee’s social media has been flooded with messages of support and customers encouraging the Tremaine family.

‘Don’t let that ruin your dream!! I’m so proud of you, Ty!!’ one person said.

‘Let me know when and where you are going to be, and I will buy coffee for my entire team. Wishing success!!’ said another.

‘Definitely do not change your name or logo. It’s catchy and makes perfect sense. You guys have the best coffee I’ve had, you can literally go anywhere else with it,’ added a third.

Some wrote that while they support the business, they understand why someone at the hospital could be upset by the logo.

‘Change the name to midnight shift or overnight shift, and things will change. They don’t want to associate the graveyard with death,’ said one person.

Another person said, ‘I support any business, and your name is awesome!! I love it!! However, there is a place for you, and with that name and more so the logo outside of a facility where people are in life or death situations is not encouraging or helping those dealing with a very serious life event.’
