Shipping Container Pop-up Shops
With shopping habits changing across the nation, many stores are being forced to change their business models and strategies to keep up.
Using converted shipping containers for retail spaces offers shop owners many benefits
Shipping Container Pop-Up Shops
Numerous retailers are being pushed to adapt their business models and tactics to stay up with the shifting buying preferences across the country.
The days of big businesses enjoying unshakeable client loyalty are over. More and more consumers want a fun shopping experience, the chance to support small businesses and local artisans, and fewer high-quality items that will last a lifetime.
As a result, pop-up stores in shipping containers are witnessing unexpected growth.
Benefits of Shipping – Container Shops
HOW TO CREATE SHIPPING CONTAINER POP-UP SHOPS
If you want to create your very own retail space with a converted shipping container, you have two main options.
If you are happy to complete a bit of DIY and need smaller premises, you can opt for a flat-pack shipping container and fit it out yourself.
These modular structures come in a range of sizes – 2m x 2m, 2m x 3m, or 2m x 4m – and can be easily linked together to create a larger space.
If you need a larger shop with bespoke features, however, a shipping container conversion is best – as it can be customised to your individual preferences and installed in one fell swoop.
No matter which option you choose, you can contact us here at Gap Containers for assistance.
To discuss your ideas with a member of the team – and take the first step towards setting up a container pop-up store – simply send us an email and we’ll respond to your enquiry as soon as we can.
Lock and Leave
Due to their steel construction, converted shipping containers are naturally strong and secure, giving you peace of mind when locking up for the evening.
Further security measures can be added as part of your bespoke package, in the form of container padlocks and lockboxes.
Reduce Set up Time
Traditional brick-and-mortar shops can take many months to refurbish and decorate. Container pop-up shops, however, can be much easier and faster to refurbish, allowing you to open to the public and start making money sooner!
Similarly, Captain Containers’ bespoke design service allows you to incorporate elements including shelving, racks, and hanging bars, meaning all design elements can be built in from the very start – reducing your workload further.
Transportablility
A shipping container pop-up shop can be transported with you if you decide to relocate.
Estate agents and buying and selling properties are a thing of the past; get in touch with us at Captain Containers so we can use our expertise in shipping containers to assist you in moving to your new location.
Weather Proof
Due to their intended use of traveling the oceans, galvanized steel shipping containers are excellently designed to withstand severe weather conditions. This includes weather conditions like heavy rain, hail, snow, and wind that can harm traditional storefronts with glass components.
This guarantees that your container pop-up shop will be secure and undamaged regardless of how bad the weather becomes.
Spacious
Available in a range of sizes, from 6-40ft long, your container pop-up store can be as big or small as you need it. This gives you executive control over your premises, allowing you to create a retail space that is large enough for milling customers to move around while also displaying your stock in the most enticing way possible.
