But what are the benefits of having a store made from shipping containers, and are the benefits enough to warrant having one of your own?
This article will answer some of the basic questions that you may have about shipping container pop-up stores. Read on to find out more!
What Are the Benefits of a Shipping Container Pop-Up Store in Houston?
It’s safe to say that Houston is one of the best places for container pop-up stores. As a result of its warmer weather, spread out location and fast growing economy. For all of these reasons, a shipping container pop-up store would make perfect sense in the Houston region. Because shipping containers are designed to be mobile, a store build from them, will automatically have this advantage. With the sprawled-out nature of Houston and its surrounding suburbs, the mobility of a shipping container store makes a lot of sense. Both from a Branding and Sales Revenue Perspective. The Store’s Brand will recieve greater exposure as it is moved to different areas of the city – both during the moving process and when its comes to rest at a particular location. Not only that, people will link the brand to something unique, trendy and innovative.
It’s important to mention the ease of customization of a shipping container. These steel containers come standard with completely open floor plans, allowing you to add any modifications in that you need quickly. They also sport an exterior frame that’s easy to cut and shape, so you can change the outside look as well very easily.
Your shop could be up and running in just a few months, if not weeks, depending on the level of customization. Also, because of their open floor plans, its very easy to design beautiful large cut-outs into the container, to take advantage of Houston’s warm temperatures.
Next advantage of course is the price. Utilizing new or used shipping container(s) as your construction base material can lower the cost of a pop-up store build-out. Not only that, using shipping container(s) as your raw material comes with the added advantage of walls, floors and ceiling already connected. That’s a bonus!
