The Sheehan Brothers Story

In 1956, when gumballs cost a penny and were sold in machines found in every grocery store, gas station, and five-and-dime in town, Dennis and James Sheehan decided that filling and servicing those machines might be a great way to supplement their salaries. They didn't have any big plans; just an "after work" endeavor that they could easily handle and enjoy. Little did they know that their efforts would turn into a successful full-time vending and catering operation.

Since that modest beginning, Sheehan Brothers Vending has outgrown two locations, and built a modern facility complete with offices, a state-of-the-art commissary and bakery, expansive warehouse space, large capacity commercial coolers and freezers, and repair departments for vending machines and delivery trucks. Two decades ago, our motto "we automatically please" concerned only a handful of customers. Today, it applies to an ever-growing list of customers from a host of different industries including manufacturing, retail, health care, and education throughout Southwest and Central Ohio.

At Sheehan Brothers, we pride ourselves on our ability to give each account, regardless of size, our personal attention. We feel that our decision to remain locally owned and independent has insured this personal attention.
