The service has only been available for one week, so the Green general manager Steve Willshaw couldn’t give any specific numbers, but he said he’s seen the stand do plenty of business.
“I was out there for dinner Friday night and they were rotating cars pretty quickly,” he said.
The valet company Divine Services of Cincinnati was chosen for the job because it already offered services at The Greene’s Flemings restaurant.

“They can move people back and forth between the two locations, which is good for them and obviously good for us,” Willshaw said.
The typical night begins with two valets, but Willshaw said if they get too busy, the company can call in help from other locations.
This isn’t the first time the Greene has provided the service, but the center is testing the service again.

“We had valet for years until two years ago and the usage had gone way down. And part of that is we have a lot of covered parking structures,” Willshaw said. “We decided to bring it back basically as a service.”
Right now the service is set to last for the summer, but it could become permanent if the numbers show it’s worth it.
“We’re going to do it through the end of this summer, and we’ll extend it if we see its something the customers want us to continue,” Willshaw said.
