For the second edition of The Dream Big Project, the retailer has handpicked select entrepreneurs as “Small Business Heroes” to help grow their businesses ahead of Small Business Saturday and the upcoming holiday shopping season.
“Small businesses employ 47 percent of all U.S. workers, and since the pandemic [started], more than 100,000 small businesses have closed,” Sara Tervo, Express executive vice president and chief marketing officer, told WWD. “The dreams of the Express community have been impacted and challenged and we wanted to help. We chose our Small Business Heroes for their passion, confidence and dedication to bringing positive change to their local communities.
