Pink Friday is a nationwide event dedicated to celebrating and supporting small and local businesses. Established in 2020, it takes place annually on the Friday before Black Friday, encouraging shoppers to discover and support small retailers first during the holiday season.

Pink Friday highlights the value of community, urging shoppers to invest in the vibrancy and diversity of their local economies before turning to big-box retailers.

Participation in Pink Friday is free for all types of small business retailers.

Thank you so much for all the orders and support yesterday for the first Pink Friday celebration and sale. I'm beyond grateful for all of my returning customers and the new ones that joined in. It's truly bittersweet to watch FWB evolve and grow. I'm still hustling and have so much more to learn and do. I continue to encourage you all to support small businesses in your area and online. I know Amazon, Walmart and Target have a lot to offer but so do small shops in your area. In these trying times all these stores, restaurants, bars, etc, nee love and support!

Today was the highest sales we have EVER had in our business. I cried happy tears at the end of the day as I have felt very discouraged lately and today just restored my soul. I was able to interact and serve customers & I locked our door tonight remembering why I started this business. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for organizing this!
