American Express salutes small business with a glimpse into the future of retail

It’s been a decade since the start of Small Business Saturday. American Express is celebrating the milestone by offering a glimpse into the future of retail. The event is called “The Big Future of Shopping Small,” will be held in New York City and showcases what stores will look like in 2035. American Express created a mini-Main Street where people can experience firsthand how technology and innovation is making shopping easier while also helping businesses. FOX Business’ Cheryl Casone visited the vibrant space occupied by mom-and-pop shops and was able to sample some of the featured artificial intelligence. One example of the technology was found in a donut shop -- it helped customers decide which treat is right for them.
