Andrea Leary and Chad Shores Share: Why Rad Rydz is One of the Best

What is it like working in Mount Pleasant?
We love Mount Pleasant. We’ve seen the area change drastically in the past 30 years, but most of the people we grew up with are still here. This gives us opportunity to provide service to our friends, old and new. Rad Rydz allows us to give back to the community by working closely with the Town to provide golf carts for their events and donating golf carts to local nonprofits.

How did your business start?
We moved into Old Village, and I wanted a golf cart. We bought an old, ugly cart. Chad painted it red and installed used batteries. I drove the heck out of it. We had $700 in the cart and Chad bet me he could sell it for $1400. I told him he was crazy, but it sold. We used the money for a nicer cart, fixed it up and flipped it. We continued this, and it grew into a business.

What is your most popular request?
Definitely speed. Everyone wants their cart to go faster. We have several options to make this happen. My personal cart goes 37 miles per hour.

How do you find passion?
I don’t think passion is something you find. It is something that just exists. My passion is people. I am passionate about helping people find solutions. I try to uncover their issue before providing a solution. We work hard to to meet people’s needs.
