The first location of The Container Store opened in 1978 to much fanfare. Some said, “A store that sells empty boxes?” But the little, 1,600-square-foot store in Dallas ended up being much more than that. It was a store devoted to helping people simplify their lives. It was the first of its kind — originating the storage and organization category of retailing. Today, The Container Store remains the industry leader, with an innovative product mix, a unique corporate culture and top-notch employees who provide a level of service that's second to none.
The Container Store is dedicated to helping customers get organized, helping them save space and, ultimately, valuable time. And who couldn't use a little more of that?
“Getting to do what I love and having the freedom to do it well with my own personality.”
“I work with amazing people everyday. we have fun, and take care of business as well all strive for a common goal.”
“My co-workers, the philosophy, and practices of the company, the flexibility.”
“Positive work environment, encouragement to say what I truly believe, extensive training.”
