Festi Essentials onsite general store at music festival

Why Every Festival Needs The General Store

Keep Guests Happy, Comfortable, and Fully in the Moment

When attendees step through your festival gates, they're stepping into a world you've created. One filled with music, art, energy, and connection. But even the best-planned event can't control everything. The sun blazes, phones die, coughs appear, or someone forgets sunscreen.

That's where an Onsite General Store changes everything.

 

A Lifeline for Festival-Goers

General Stores provide more than convenience, they provide relief. They're the quiet heroes of a festival, keeping guests cool, hydrated, and comfortable so they can stay immersed in the experience you've built.

From cold drinks and sunscreen to power banks, cough drops, fans, and candy, a well-stocked General Store ensures every guest has what they need to thrive in the elements.

 

A Turnkey Solution for Producers

At Festi Essentials, we make it simple. Our team brings everything. From the infrastructure and signage to the product, POS, and trained staff. We operate mobile bars on wheels and rolling stores that can be moved throughout the venue for maximum visibility and accessibility.

You don't lift a finger. We handle setup, sales, staffing, and operations so your team can focus on the show.
