Styles and Benefits of Modern Container Stores
Ports, shops, and containers are an indispensable part of import and export shipping by sea. As long as shipping is mentioned, the first reaction is the container with wide space. In fact, the container is not only used in shipping, it has a wide range of applications. In the commercial scene, the container element has long been under the skillful hands of architects and designers, forming a visual focus all over the world. In addition to Starbucks, brands such as Uniqlo and Puma favor it. It can be used as a restaurant, coffee shop, shopping mall, retail brand store, pop-up/convenience store, gym, hotel apartment, office space, market, sales office, etc. From London in the UK to Seoul in South Korea, Osaka in Japan, New York in the US, and Shanghai in China, container commercial spaces are always endowed with labels such as cool, uninhibited, inspirational, and free, which is in stark contrast to the original rigid, boring, and cumbersome containers.
Container’s Material
The container is mainly made of corrugated steel plate, weathering steel, aluminum alloy, wood, and other materials. After modernization and improvement, container materials can be waterproof, moisture-proof, lighting-proof, and noise-proof, and because of their good shock resistance, they are often used in school construction in Japan and South Korea. The ready-made frame structure is easy to assemble, disassemble, and transport and the cost is low. It is especially suitable for building brand pop-up stores, or project commercial venues and scenes for short-term use. The service life of the container is generally 10-15 years, and it can reach 30 years with good maintenance. Within the effective time, it can be recycled and reused to improve the use efficiency.
Container Shop Type
The scale of container stores is very large and can be divided into many types according to personal and commercial operations. There are many styles in the container store. The most common style is a single style, which is composed of only one container. Large-scale can be composed of 6-7 containers, they can have 2-3 floors, such as container shopping malls and so on. If you are running a coffee shop or clothing store individually or with a partner, then we can use a single container. If it is used by enterprises and brands, then assembled containers can be used. The requirements for the container are relatively high, and the construction and installation are also complicated.
Single Container Shop Style
Containers generally have 2 sizes. 20ft and 40ft. Single container shops, also have many styles. We can use them to sell anything, and they can be custom according to your business.
This style is often used in coffee shops or bubble tea shops. It can be opened on both sides, and the walls on both sides have also been used as floors. We can set up tables and chairs, and install awnings on the top. Insides are the bar counter, which can be closed directly at night. The floor uses a hydraulic system, so it is easy to close.
If we want more seating space, we can set the second floor on top and put the table, it has railings around it, and the top floor will be reinforced, so it is very safe.
This style only has the front window open, which is a window for sale and is also suitable for the drive-through.
This style is also a conventional container, which is completely open on one side, with rolling doors and transparent sliding doors. This type of container is suitable for jewelry stores, offices or watch stores, etc.
Take the Starbucks store pictured above as an example. It is the first container concept store in mainland China to open in Shanghai. The main body consists of six containers, in which you can experience coffee, art exhibitions, and 3D printing technology. This is also Starbucks’ 800th store in Shanghai. The concept store consists of 6 containers of different sizes, white and brown, interspersed and overlapped, with a total of two floors. The first floor is a staggering ordering area and dining area, and a large transparent glass curtain wall is set up, from the outside, you can have a panoramic view of the overall appearance of the box. The second floor is composed of two terraces, dining areas, and sky corridors, and skylights are set at the corners of the steps, and the indoor shadows move with the change of sunlight that penetrates through the skylights. The scale of this spliced container is very large and very eye-catching.
Container Shop Advantage
China is the world’s largest manufacturer of containers and has created three world firsts in this field of production. The annual production capacity of China’s containers has reached 5.8 million standard containers, ranking first in the world.

And it can also be used as a pop-up store, it is movable and can be refitted twice. If you want to change a business, we can only replace the interior furniture and logo, etc. Or we can resell, so the container store is a very popular convenience store.
Container Shop Customization
If you want to open a container shop, we need to confirm what is your business first. Different businesses have different styles. The layout of the container shop is also related to the machinery and equipment we use. So we need to determine what machine we are going to use first so that we can determine the internal layout. The first step in customizing a product is to make a design first, through which all furniture styles and decorations, as well as container opening and sales methods, are determined. So design is a very important step. We have professional designers who can designate plans for us. And if you want to start a container store, we can discuss more details together.
