The Container Store

Founded in 1978 and based in Coppell, Texas, The Container Store is the nation's original and leading retailer of storage and organization products, offering more than 10,000 innovative and multifunctional solutions designed to simplify customers' lives, save space and, ultimately, save time. The Container Store has locations from coast to coast that each average 25,000 square feet and a thriving online business. Since our inception, we've nurtured an employee-first culture coupled with our one-of-kind product collection and a high level of customer service delivered by our highly-trained organization experts. We start by putting employees first and staying true to our seven Foundation Principles™ — simple business philosophies that guide each decision we make. This commitment to our employees and culture has landed us on FORTUNE magazine's list of "100 Best Companies to Work For" year after year. The Container Store operates by putting purpose before profits and is proud to be one of the pioneering companies in a movement called Conscious Capitalism. This includes a group of like-minded companies working together to change the face of business by optimizing the relationships of a business' stakeholders — employees, customers, vendors, community and shareholders — because it's the right thing to do and it's the most sustainable and fun form of business.
