In spring of 2008, Brendan Sheehan created Mr. B’s Festival Needs – General Store, a traveling 24-Hour General Convenience/Camping Supply store that is contracted year after year by dozens of music festivals all over the country. While traveling the festival circuit, Brendan realized that although many of the festival vendors were selling clothing, jewelry, or food, nobody was providing any kind of service for the patrons to acquire any last minute festival essentials they may have forgotten, or not known they would need at such an event. So he came up with the slogan “If you forgot it…We brought it” and immediately set out to do just that!
For close to a decade now, Brendan and his crew have been providing this vital service at many large music festivals/events, including Lockn’, Camp Bisco, The Peach, Gathering of the Vibes, Summer Camp, TomorrowWorld, as well as many others. They carry over 200 items in stock each weekend, and work directly with festival concessionaires, as well as sponsorship activations, to provide additional points of sale for products to be sold/distributed throughout the festival. In addition to the General Store, Brendan also started Mr. B’s Luxury Tent Rentals, which is a growing service that provides the infrastructure for patrons to rent whole campsites, already set up & ready to go when they arrive on site.
Each year, the Mr. B’s brand continues to grow and expand across the various markets in the festival space, while also providing more & more opportunities for creative partnerships to be formed.
