Lauren did not set out to run an event company. She set out to make celebrations feel like something worth remembering.
Old Fashioned Concessions is a mobile concessions and entertainment business based in Sterling Heights, Macomb County, and it brings the party directly to you. The kind of party where kids line up with their eyes wide open and adults forget for a minute that they are adults.
The setup is straightforward. You book Lauren, and she arrives with the equipment, the supplies, and the energy to run it all. Popcorn machines. Cotton candy. Snow cones. The classics that make any gathering feel like a real event. And if you want to go bigger, she has bounce houses, water slides, and character appearances that turn a backyard birthday into something people talk about for years.
What makes Old Fashioned Concessions different from renting equipment and figuring it out yourself is Lauren. She does not just drop off gear and disappear. She shows up. She sets up. She makes sure everything runs the way it is supposed to so the people who hired her can actually be at their own event instead of managing it.
This is the kind of small business that exists because someone decided they were tired of seeing families settle for less than they deserved when it came to celebrating. A birthday should feel like a birthday. A school carnival should feel like a carnival. A community event should feel like an event that someone cared about.
Lauren is building that from right here in Macomb County.
If you have an event coming up, reach out early. She books up fast, especially for summer.
