Today we’d like to introduce you to Lucky & Candice Sanders.
Lucky & Candice, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
We purchased our property for our retirement back in 2020, Cloverland was never in the plans; however, one day my lovely husband had the bright idea to buy me a horse (he was raised with them). The kicker is the horses never stopped coming lol and they are expensive so I turned my husband‘s passion into a business, hence the name CLOVERLAND RANCH, his name is Lucky, so I played off of the four-leaf clover. To our surprise, CLOVERLAND really took off despite opening one day and Covid hitting the next! If you remember back then we had a curfew so people wanted to get out of the house and do something different so with us being outside and people being on top of a horse nowhere near anyone it just worked out perfectly! We’ve been blessed enough to add an activity each year we’ve been open, so we now offer horseback trail rides, ATV tours, and laser tag in the woods. This has also attracted a lot of celebrities, such as Lil Baby, TI and Tiny, Jeffery Morgen, Isaiah John, Donell Jones just the name a few, as well as a plethora of reality shows..
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
We’ve definitely had some curveballs, some things we jumped right into that we wish we would’ve researched a bit more, understanding that being a black-owned ranch is a double-edged sword, and what we mean by that is, it seems as though our people want to lift us up once they find out the ranch is black-owned; however, The slightest thing could go wrong, and automatically it becomes “That’s what you get for patronizing a black-owned Business” that’s something that hit us pretty hard however, we definitely learned some important lessons and put them into our game plan moving forward!
As you know, we’re big fans of Cloverland Ranch. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
We offer horseback trail rides, ATV tours, and outdoor laser tag you can feel! The main thing that sets us apart other than the obvious is there’s no other place in the metro area where you can do all these activities in one space.
We want our customers to leave feeling like they just left the fun cousin’s house lol we want y’all to feel appreciated because we no there’s no us without you and we truly appreciate everyone, even people who can’t make it out but spread the word it means so much to us!
Is there something surprising that you feel even people who know you might not know about?
That we’re stepping out of our comfort zone and taping our own miniseries based off the day-to-day at the Ranch! Please be prepared lol because we have some characters working for us and some interesting people that come in from time to time lol.
