Running a Business During the Circleville Pumpkin Show? Here's Where Extra Inventory Goes

Pumpkin Show week squeezes storage because three things land on the same backroom at once: festival-only inventory and signage that only comes out once a year, the first wave of holiday stock arriving ahead of schedule, and the week's own event supplies — extra product, tables, and displays — all competing for the same few hundred square feet behind the counter.

None of that is a year-round space problem. It's a one-to-two-week problem, and it tends to hit downtown Circleville harder than a normal fall week anywhere else in Pickaway County, simply because so much of the local economy turns out for the festival at once.

Most Circleville businesses put a container on their own back lot, in alley space off Court St, or at a vendor spot near the Pumpkin Show grounds — wherever is closest to where you're actually loading and unloading all week.

We deliver a 16-foot Mobi directly to that spot and it stays there as long as you need it, so you're not driving product to a storage unit across town during the one week you can least afford the trip. Downtown Circleville's older buildings mean some alleys and lots are tight, so tell us where you're thinking of placing it when you book — delivery needs about 40 feet of clear, straight, firm, level space, roughly 16 feet for the container and 24 feet for the truck.

Before Pumpkin Show traffic picks up, load anything that isn't needed on the sales floor that week — festival-only stock, extra signage, and early holiday inventory are the easiest wins.

Business container rentals in Circleville start at a flat $249 per month for one 16-foot Mobi, billed month-to-month with no long-term lease to sign — so you can bring one on just for Pumpkin Show week and send it back once the festival wraps.

MobiStor delivers throughout Circleville and the rest of Pickaway County, along with the greater Columbus and Central Ohio area. Request a quote with your exact address and we'll confirm an all-in number. Need more than a container's worth of space — vendor trailers, equipment, or vehicles? Our Mansfield facility handles that too: vehicle storage runs $10.00 per linear foot per month, general warehouse space is $7.50 per square foot, and other setups are quoted individually.

Book at least two to three weeks ahead of Pumpkin Show week, since that's one of the busiest stretches of the fall for both the festival and for container deliveries across Central Ohio.
