Dayton Loper:
Co- Owner
Born and raised in Bluffton, South Carolina. While going to our local high school May River High, I worked in a restaurant and learned that I love hospitality. So with that in mind I decided to persue a degree in Hospitality Management.
After completing my degree I worked as a One Hot Mama’s Regional Catering manager and while working in this position for three year, I worked with Heidi McAllister as my right hand at countless events. After working with her so long, we both kept saying why don’t we just start our own business and do this ourselves. Well on one afternoon in September, I called her up and said “I have found the perfect horse trailer,” “Should we do it.” Heidi agreed and replied “Why not what is the worst that could happen.” So our adventure as business partners began.
