Creativity Meets Crashes at Our Annual DC Derby

Our Annual DC Derby is truly a time for both brains and brawn—the place where creative genius and muscle cars intersect. Each year, departments collaborate to create the fastest, most aerodynamic, and most original designs, and the result is a fast-paced event that celebrates smarts and speed in equal measure. Plus: costumes. Lots and lots of costumes. With themes and car designs ranging from pop culture-inspired (such as Marie Kondo or Marvel characters) to the incredibly arcane (such as “Lake

  • Happy Mother’s Day from TCS!

Whether your path to motherhood was traditional or somewhat outside the box, this day is an opportunity to truly appreciate the countless women in our lives who have demonstrated love, forgiveness, kindness and humor; a chance to thank the women who helped us become, well, you and me.

    When we first decided to open a second Distribution Center in Aberdeen, Maryland, one of the most important factors was making sure we had plenty of great people to work there. Because we place so much emphasis on culture here at The Container Store, it wouldn’t work to hire only brand-new employees, so naturally we had to carefully choose veteran employees who not only represented our culture effectively, but who were also willing to move halfway across the country! Luckily for us, an
