  • Transforming Dress for Success Palm Beaches

    As if having The Container Store come to Boca Raton wasn’t exciting enough, our team here at Dress for Success Palm Beaches was thrilled when they offered to organize the new “boutique” that houses our professional attire. Our organization promotes the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing business clothing, a network of support, and career development tools to help them thrive in work and in life. Referral agencies send job-ready women to our Career Transformation Center

  • On the Catwalk

    Employees at all of our stores across the nation recently took to the fashion runway during our annual Travel Campaign Kick-off Meetings. These fun meetings are planned to help employees learn all about our new travel products in preparation for our Go Organized Travel Sale, so they can make sure our customers travel this summer – and always – in organized fashion. Rather than have employees sit through a run-of-the-mill slideshow presentation, we bring a special Air of Excitement to the

  • Kip at Darden School of Business

    Our Chairman and CEO, Kip, recently spoke to a group of MBA students at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business. Afterward, he sat down with his friend, Professor Ed Freeman, to discuss Conscious Capitalism and the role of business in society. Watch Kip’s full interview here!

  • You Rock!

    Nearly every week, our Indy Store gets a truck filled with new and replacement products and supplies from our Distribution Center in Texas. We’re not talking one or two boxes – it’s an entire 18-wheeler filled with fun things to stock our shelves, and it takes the help of the entire team to get it unloaded. Shortly after our store opened nearly two years ago, during a truck unload process our team leader handed an employee who had worked especially hard an old garden rock and said, “You rock!”

  • Join us at Conscious Capitalism 2013

    To know that while providing solutions to our customers’ storage and organization challenges, we’re also making a positive impact on the world by the way we treat all of our stakeholders, well, that’s one of the greatest joys in my life. Ensuring that the lives of everyone connected to our business are enriched and brimming with opportunity is the way of a conscious business and something we strive to achieve each and every day. I’m excited to come together with many other business, thought and

  • My 20-Year Trip!

    I have just returned from the trip of a lifetime to Hawaii in celebration of my 20th anniversary with The Container Store! I cannot thank our leadership enough for their kindness and generosity in making it possible for me to take this dream trip.I officially celebrated my 20th anniversary with the company in 2011, but at the time my husband Mike and I did not feel it was the right time for us to take a fun trip, as our youngest son Rusty was serving in the Marines, stationed in Afghanistan.The

  • My 20-Year Trip!

    Our customers are always impressed by the fun, friendly atmosphere within the stores and it’s because we love our jobs. Colleagues also become family and family becomes colleagues – literally! After a few years of working at The Container Store, I recruited my husband Vernon to work here too. His positions have changed over the years, but he’s always been in the Distribution Center and is the only employee in the DC with a 12-year perfect attendance record! So, it was extra special for us to get

  • Los Angeles’ Top Workplaces!

    It is truly an honor for The Container Store to be recognized as one of the Top Workplaces in Los Angeles! We’ve been in the LA market since 2004 and now have three locations (Pasadena, Century City and El Segundo). Our employees make The Container Store a great place to work and with their talents and intuition, we are able to provide a matchless customer experience. This honor is both humbling and exciting, because of how diligently we work to create a workplace that is rewarding and

  • Partnering with Winnie Palmer Hospital in Orlando

    “The Container Store is opening a location in Orlando!” I can remember hearing that from several of my friends and colleagues as the news began to spread about their new Orlando location opening in 2013. As a native of Atlanta, I remembered my visits to their Perimeter store. I was always amazed at the amount of organizational items they had and felt that no matter how organized a person you were, this place probably had just one more idea to make you even more organized. When we opened

  • Blending Work and Play

    Our Inventory Coordinator team in our Distribution Center is responsible for keeping track of our product inventory. Ensuring we have the right product in the right place at the right time for our customers makes us a very busy bunch! In order to better serve our stores and our customers, our team recently split into a daytime and evening shift. Since we’re now not always physically together, we decided to start using our monthly team meetings as time for team building and reconnecting. Each

  • Vendor Spotlight: Eagle Creek

    We just launched our Go Organized Travel Sale, and Eagle Creek is one of our greatest vendor partners – they manufacture all kinds of unique travel products that we and our customers just love, including high-quality luggage, Pack-It folders to keep your clothes crisp in your suitcase, daypacks for hiking, and much more! But what we love most about Eagle Creek is that their company stands for many of the same things that we do – including putting employees first, inspiring them, and ensuring

  • What We Stand For – Life’s Journeys

    We recently asked our employees to select one word that best described what The Container Store stands for and to express it in a way that represents their unique interests and backgrounds. While we were incredibly inspired by all of the submissions, there was one in particular that resonated perfectly with this time of year – JOURNEY! Stacy, an 8-year employee, said that her life’s JOURNEY brought her to The Container Store where her career allows her to pursue her passion for traveling. She
