She joined the company through an internship for Otterbein and drove carriages for about a year. She worked with the owner and learned all the ins and outs of the business. When the owner mentioned that she was ready to sell the business, Brittany decided she was ready to buy. Her carriages run seven days a week except for major holidays and depending on the weather. But I hear this year we're going to get hit hard.
Weather is an important factor.
December is by far our busiest month. It works out real well for me because classes end right before Thanksgiving and that's when we get busy. Prom season and Valentine's Day are also busy. It is a romantic business and Brittany says she has overheard more than her share of wedding proposals. You can get three or four guys proposing a night, especially on Valentine's Day.
