Leanna Allen, known as the “Trolley Queen of the South,” shares her insights about the Sandhills Trolley Company. “My journey with this incredible venture began with the simple pleasure to spread joy through unique experiences as an entertainer on board.

"Being the first host hired set the stage for an exciting and fulfilling endeavor. Throughout my journey as a host, I was given the name ‘JoMama,’ which previous trolley goers have called me many times even while shopping for groceries,” she said.

“When the opportunity to buy the company arose, a close family friend and I couldn’t resist. Adding an interesting twist to the story, my co-owner Michael, is my ex-husband. Despite our personal history, our collaboration with the Sandhills Trolley Company is a testament to our shared commitment and friendship to create something special beyond the past,” Allen said.
