American Express started as a shipping company.

I've even expressed interest in possibly selling and she gave me several other owners names who would probably be interested in acquiring another unit or two there.

At this point you just have multiple people who have verbally expressed interest. 

What they did was set-up a chain of fast ride couriers, a system later used by the Pony Express actually taken as inspiration for such. 

I also like the american express card for employees.

There is no right or wrong answer here generally speaking, although many of the posts above are expressed that way.

Was thinking of getting an American Express.

As Southern California has a reputation as a healthy, clean-eating population, you would think that, as we sheltered in place, we would be keeping ourselves sustained by placing delivery orders for healthy salads and juice.
