This occurred after Butler began selling $20 cups of coffee to NBA players. Butler accomplished this task in his hotel room using an espresso machine and coffee beans he had purchased from El Salado. His business, BIGFACE Brand, began as more of a hobby until becoming a legitimate business in 2021. This occurred as a result of Butler starting the business with the aid of Shopify’s creative program.
