Sheehan Brothers nears 300th micro market milestone amid expansion

Sheehan Brothers Vending is preparing to install its 300th micro market as it continues to expand and serve new local markets for the Springfield, Ohio-based operator.

The achievement follows the company’s largest acquisition year in its history. In 2024, Sheehan Brothers acquired four companies and expanded its service area into the Louisville and Lexington markets, regions it had not previously served.

President Patrick Sheehan said the growth strategy has strengthened customer relationships and improved operational reach. “A year ago, we took on our most ambitious growth initiative yet, and today we are proud to see that investment pay off in stronger relationships, better service and new opportunities to serve customers across Kentucky,” he said.

As the company prepares for its 300th micro market installation, Sheehan said the milestone reflects both team dedication and customer loyalty. “Every milestone is a reflection of our team’s hard work and our customers’ trust,” he said. “As we look to the future, we are focused on sustainable growth and continuing to bring innovation and service excellence to every market we serve.”

Founded in 1956 as a hometown vending operation, Sheehan Brothers has evolved into a regional refreshment services provider serving Ohio, Indiana and northern Kentucky. Its service portfolio includes vending, office coffee, micro markets, fresh food, retail catering and water systems.
