Grow your business with a shipping container shop.
Shipping container shops are on the rise, and a few of our lucky customers have been at the forefront of it. Thanks to the combined innovations of entrepreneurs and engineers, it’s now possible to open a shop and conduct business with minimal overheads. The idea starts with a shipping container, it’s brought to life by a talented engineer and is driven to success by you. Pop-up shops of this kind are appearing across the UK at an ever increasing rate. Their appeal is obvious: renewability, sustainability, support for small local businesses, convenience, affordability and no obligations.
If you’ve always wanted to launch a shop but don’t want to deal with enormous overheads, this could be the solution you need. It also offers a great way to test a market or product before going all in and renting expensive business premises. Shipping container shop conversions are already popular alternatives in major cities like Manchester and Amsterdam, and their popularity is expected to grow even more. We build our shop conversions for comfort and convenience, as they’re both portable and weatherproof. You can set up business wherever you need to and easily pack everything up at the close of the day.
Shipping container shop conversions are the perfect alternative to renting expensive shops with long leases and constant overheads. Being tied to a single location also puts you in a position where you rely on the performance of the local economy. These conversions allow entrepreneurs to remain nimble and versatile; able to quickly pivot according to the changing demands of consumers. Shops of this kind frequently appear at festivals, shopping outlets and on busy high streets. Having a traditional shop can limit opportunities, but with a portable one, the opportunities really are endless.
If this idea excites you, get in touch today and we’ll discuss your plans.
