Fox Business is shining the spotlight on small businesses across the nation and the impact they have made on their customers and communities in celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.
Fox Business kicked off its “Made in America” contest in March for small businesses to get a chance at a grand prize of $25,000. Fans were asked to vote “for their favorite small business” once 10 finalists were chosen, according to the network.
The judging panel included Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo, Charles Payne, Brian Brenberg, Larry Kudlow, and Dagen McDowell.
In May, during Small Business Week, Fox Business’s The Big Money Show announced three out of 10 finalists as the winners to be featured on Fox Nation’s Small Business Special, which will air on June 8.
The three contest winners were:
- Four Branches Bourbon in Bardstown, Kentucky
- Marilyn’s in Lakeside, Ohio
- TGU Home Solutions in Aberdeen, North Carolina.
The other seven finalists were:
- Judy’s Family Cafe in Galesburg, Illinois;
- Nathan Anthony Furniture in Vernon, California;
- Pedal Guerrero, Incorporated, in San Antonio, Texas;
- Pete Place, LLC, in Dighton, Kansas;
- Steele Saddle Tree LLC, in Ashland City, Tennessee;
- Harris Grocery, Inc., in Bunnell, Florida; and
- Coastal Business Solutions, LLC, in Corpus Christi, Texas.
A QUIET TEXAS RULING WITH BIG IMPLICATIONS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
The judges reviewed either written or video submissions from each finalist and selected the winners based on the following categories: leadership and team culture (25%), innovation and creativity (25%), customer experience and loyalty (25%), and community impact (25%).
The contest was sponsored by Comcast Business and JPMorgan Chase.
