Company profile
researched Aug 2026Mobile Charging Lockers (MCL) supplies cell-phone charging and storage locker solutions to music festivals, sporting events, outdoor venues, conferences, tradeshows and production sites. The company positions the service as a way for event organizers to add a secure place for attendees to store and charge devices during live events, framed around increasing partner profitability, improving operational efficiency and enhancing guest experience.
Operationally, MCL pairs staffed locker banks at events with nationwide warehousing and event teams. Attendees reserve lockers in advance online and receive an emailed receipt with a QR code; on site they present the QR code plus a government-issued ID at the MCL tent and receive a wristband carrying the locker combination. Locks are provided, access is unlimited during the locker location's operating hours (which run from the beginning of the event to its end), and multi-day rentals allow items to be left overnight. Lockers may also be sold on site when inventory remains, though the company notes online inventory frequently sells out. Food, beverages and live animals are not permitted in lockers, and refunds are issued only when an event is canceled or rescheduled, with rentals transferable to another named person.
Hardware comes in two described formats: individual lockers measuring 12" wide x 18" deep x 12" high, and multi-opening locker banks with 24 openings per bank, openings of 8"H x 11"W x 18"D and bank dimensions of 3.5'W x 6.5'H x 1.5'D. Beyond rentals, the site markets brand activations, advertising solutions and revenue sharing arrangements for event partners.
Founding story
The company was founded in 2011 to address the absence of secure storage and device-charging options at festivals, sporting events and conferences, where attendees increasingly rely on phones for social media, messaging and video during live events.
Business model
MCL rents charging and storage lockers to event organizers and brands, and also sells individual locker reservations directly to event attendees online and, when available, on site. Alongside straight rentals, the company offers revenue-sharing arrangements with event partners, brand activation packages for conferences, tradeshows, exhibits and production sites, and advertising solutions on locker installations.
Revenue comes from locker rental fees and event-partner revenue share, plus advertising and brand activation placements. Published activation/rental pricing is tiered by duration and by number of locker openings, with rates ranging from $900 for a one-day rental at the smallest published tier to $7,000 for seven days at the largest published tier; deployments beyond 192 openings and rentals of eight or more days are quoted on request.
Traction
The company reports hundreds of event partners across North America and maintains a calendar of upcoming events at which lockers can be reserved; it notes that online locker inventory often sells out ahead of events.
Latest developments
The company's site lists upcoming events for locker reservations and publishes current tiered activation and rental pricing for locker banks of up to 192 openings, with larger configurations quoted on request.
