What Nobody Ever Told You About Brandi From Storage Wars

When Brandi Passante made her debut on Storage Wars, no one could have predicted an A&E reality show about people battling over the contents of storage lockers would be so entertaining. She quickly became a fan favorite, but how much do the show's fans really know about her? Brandi Passante and Jarrod Schulz came to the attention of Storage Wars producers through their Now and Then secondhand store in California's Orange County, which they stocked with items obtained from abandoned storage locker auctions. During one such event, Schulz was approached by producers of what would become Storage Wars. After hearing nothing for eight months, Schulz received a call from producers asking if they could shoot footage in the couple's store. As it happened, Passante was manning the cash register that day. Schulz told The Orange County Register, "They asked me, 'Who's the girl up front?' Would she mind being on TV?'" In an interview with The Saline Courier, Passante shared, "They asked if we wanted to be on camera for a few minutes. We really didn't think it would go anywhere, but it became a big deal." The rest is Storage Wars history. Passante told The Register, "It's a blessing and a curse. Sometimes you just want to go to the grocery store and pick up some milk."
