OUR HISTORY
It all started in 1939 when Clarence “Cookie” Krattenmaker, along with his wife, Hazel started a school bus business with a 1935 Ford. He continued in business until the 1970’s when his daughter and son-in-law, Helen and Glenn Riley, purchased the business. It was in the 80’s when their son, Kevin, became a partner and they purchased their first motorcoach. In 2007, Kevin purchased the business from his parents and is presently the proud owner. We have come quite a ways since that ol’ 1935 Ford…..today Riley’s has three luxury motorcoaches and six school buses.
