NBA All-Star Jimmy Butler's BIGFACE Coffee Pops Up in San Francisco with Square

BIGFACE, powered by Square, will run July 10-27 at Square's Corner Store location in the Mission District SAN FRANCISCO, July 08, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Square today announced that Golden State Warriors star and Square seller Jimmy Butler will bring BIGFACE to San Francisco through an exclusive pop-up at Square's Corner Store in the Mission District. The two-week pop-up, running from July 10 to 27, marks Butler's first local business venture since joining the Warriors, connecting his entrepreneurial passion with his new home and community in the Bay Area. Butler's BIGFACE journey began in 2020, when his deep personal passion for coffee merged with an unmet need for high-quality coffee in the NBA bubble. Butler started brewing and selling out of his hotel room for fellow players, and BIGFACE was born. Since then, BIGFACE has evolved into a thriving business, a premium lifestyle brand, and a respected name in specialty coffee. With a commitment to excellence and a focus on sustainably sourcing the finest specialty coffees on the planet, BIGFACE coffee not only tastes remarkable, but also supports the people and ecosystems behind each cup. Butler turned to Square when he opened the BIGFACE flagship store in Miami in 2024, and uses Square to power payments when BIGFACE pops up at cultural and sporting events like PSG House in LA and the Miami Grand Prix. BIGFACE's Miami flagship not only sports Square Register, Square Terminal, and the new Square Handheld – but also features a sleek Modbar espresso set up, a grab-and-go BIGFACE ReadyBev station, and an exclusive collection of premium apparel and gear, making it a cultural hub for coffee and creativity. "San Francisco's coffee culture is legendary, making the city an ideal fit for BIGFACE," said Jimmy Butler, founder of BIGFACE Coffee. "Coffee brings people from all different backgrounds together, so partnering with Square to bring BIGFACE to the Mission is the perfect way to connect more deeply with the Bay Area and show love to a community that's embraced me." The BIGFACE pop-up will offer espresso drinks, cold brew, and pour-over coffee, all of which can be personalized with BIGFACE's signature coffee infusions, including vanilla, salted caramel, and strawberry. Bottled and canned ReadyBev coffees and juices will also be available. BIGFACE is designing SF-exclusive merch for the pop-up, which pays homage to the location's legacy as the former home of beloved Lucca Ravioli, and is only available at the Corner Store. Customers paying with a Cash App Card will receive 15% off all purchases at the pop-up. "Jimmy Butler's evolution from NBA all-star to coffee entrepreneur perfectly exemplifies how passion and the right tools can transform any business dream into reality," said Lindsey Irvine, Head of Marketing at Square. "At Square, we know that local business matters, and that sellers are among the most powerful community connectors. Giving Jimmy a space to connect more closely with the local community is the perfect next chapter for the Corner Store." Event Details: What: BIGFACE, powered by Square – a cultural hub and coffee pop-up Where: The Corner Store, 1100 Valencia Street, Mission District, San Francisco When: July 10-27, 2025, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily The Next Evolution of the Corner Store The BIGFACE pop-up follows the Corner Store's successful June programming that celebrated San Francisco's small business community through workshops, networking events, and educational sessions.

Why Block Stock Zoomed 10% Higher in June

Analysts were generally bullish on the company during the month. It also demonstrated that it's innovating in the product sphere with a new handheld device. 10 stocks we like better than Block › Block (NYSE: XYZ) had a decent, if unspectacular, June, ultimately emerging from the month with a 10% gain in share price. A product launch in an important market overseas, announced as we approached July, was a catalyst, as were several positive analyst notes across the preceding weeks. In the opening days of the month, Block earned a recommendation upgrade from Evercore ISI, whose analyst Adam Frisch ticked up his rating to outperform (buy, in other words) from in line (hold). With that, he also substantially increased his price target to $75 per share from the former $58. According to reports, Frisch's move was based on several factors, including the lack of more aggressive -- and therefore risky -- company lending to customers of its popular Cash App. The analyst also said that low-end consumer spending trends were holding steady; these support the small and mid-sized businesses that typically use the company's Square point-of-sale payment system. Frisch was also heartened by new product rollouts from the company in both the hardware and software realms. In terms of the stock's valuation, the pundit wrote that it was cheap on several metrics when matched against peer fintech companies. This positive tone was matched by several other Block-watching analysts during the month. While none went so far as to change their recommendation like Frisch, several either reiterated their existing bullish takes or raised their price targets. Among the latter was Barclays's Ramsey El-Assal, who pushed his fair value assessment higher, to $75 per share from $57. He also maintained his overweight (buy) recommendation. Block did take a bit of a hit to its stock price when a Wall Street Journal article stated that top U.S. retailers were exploring ways to process stablecoin payments. Much of this has to do with saving fees charged by companies like Block and credit card processors for transactions effected through their networks. The mood seemed to change when Block announced the rollout of its recently introduced Square Handheld to the U.K. market. This is a point-of-sale device that looks (and in some ways acts) like a smartphone. Given its form factor and the payment software packed inside, it's ideal for restaurants, a crucial Block customer demographic. Block has always been a strong performer in the transaction management space, particularly within its wheelhouse of small and mid-sized businesses. But it's something of a wild card since it likes to plunge into other related finance segments in a way that feels almost haphazard. Its embrace of cryptocurrencies, for example, feels less than careful and has introduced a significant degree of risk. With that wild card quality, I would personally shy away from the stock. I feel there are other titles in the fintech space more worthy of consideration.

Block (NYSE:XYZ) Seals Exclusive Payment Partnership With Live Nation Canada

Recent developments at Block, including an expanded partnership with Live Nation Canada, have highlighted the company's commitment to enhancing customer experiences through strategic technology applications. Despite a decrease in revenue and net income for Q1 2025, the company's share price rose by nearly 15% over the last quarter, potentially influenced by these positive collaborations and product innovations like the new Square Handheld device. The company's initiatives may have supported broader market trends, where the market has risen 1.9% in the past week and 12% over the year, indicating a solid recovery momentum. We've identified 1 weakness for Block that you should be aware of. This technology could replace computers: discover the 25 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. The recent partnership between Block and Live Nation Canada is poised to bolster Block's diverse ecosystem, potentially enhancing customer experiences and engagement. This initiative aligns with Block's narrative of leveraging strategic collaborations and product innovations, like the Square Handheld device. These moves might have contributed to the company's 15% share price increase over the last quarter, despite a decrease in both revenue and earnings for Q1 2025. Additionally, Block's shares saw a total return of 3.24% over the past year, which, when juxtaposed with the broader market's 12.2% rise in the same timeframe, denotes underperformance. Comparatively, the US Diversified Financial industry experienced a 21.6% increase, highlighting Block's relative lag to its peers over the past year. The developments could potentially stimulate future revenue and earnings growth, with Block's emphasis on expanding Cash App features and Bitcoin initiatives expected to raise user engagement. Analyst forecasts see revenue growing by 11% annually over the next three years, with earnings expected to rise substantially. However, regulatory and economic challenges pose risks that could impact these forecasts. Current analyst consensus sets Block's price target at US$96.99, which is 9.6% above the current share price of US$87.68, indicating room for growth if the company's strategic initiatives bear fruit.
