Two Days of Supporting Small Businesses When
They Need it Most
FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) today announced the launch of the
company’s “Big Days of Small,” a two-day (July 15 & 16)
shopping event showcasing select small businesses offering one-time
only deals to everyone who wants to support small this summer.
“Big Days of Small” features a dozen small businesses offering a
variety of products such as boutique chocolates, science kits for
girls, solar powered lights, a barrel cooker and so many more. The
discounts and deals vary, and the shopping event is open to
everyone, allowing participating business owners to compete with
the biggest online retailers around.
“Small businesses are the fabric of America. They compel
innovation, spur economic growth and employ countless citizens
across the country,” said Brie Carere, executive vice president,
chief marketing & communications officer, FedEx. “We believe in
supporting these entrepreneurs, so they can compete and win in
today’s challenging environment.”
Businesses were selected from their participation in the FedEx
Small Business Grant Contest. These business owners have shown
incredible determination when it comes to keeping their businesses
going during the COVID-19 global pandemic. They include:

powered lantern ideal for recreational use such as backyards,

visually stunning and breathtakingly decadent hand-crafted
