The Container Store opened its doors in a 1,600 square foot retail space in Dallas. The first store was filled with products that consumers couldn’t find in any other retail environment. They were things like commercial parts bins, mailboxes, popcorn tins, burger baskets, milk crates and wire leaf burners. The product collection was quite unusual, but when used in a home or office, the solutions saved customers space and, ultimately, time.
