  • Feeling the Love in Surprise, Arizona

    In early May, IRIS USA celebrated an historic event for our company, the opening of our third manufacturing and distribution facility in Surprise, AZ. The need for this expansion in large part, is due to the continued growth from the business we enjoy with The Container Store, which is served from our Mesquite, TX facility. This new facility will free up much needed production and warehouse capacity in Mesquite to support the continued growth of TCS. In addition, the facility will also

  • Life is Better When You’re Organized

    Our Co-Founder and Chairman, Kip Tindell, recently spent time chatting with Todd Uterstaedt of From Founder to CEO—an organization built on helping budding entrepreneurs make the transition from bright-eyed, enthusiastic startup founders to thoughtful, business savvy CEOs.

In our latest addition of “Careers with Heart” we spoke with Chris about this vital but relatively unknown area of retail, and how he totally owes The Container Store for playing matchmaker between he and his wife. How did you get interested in photography and video? When I took my first photography class in 8th grade I discovered that I loved

  • Finding a Company that Shares My Values

    We connected with Bethany at the Conscious Capitalism 2016 conference in Chicago earlier this year. She’s a 22-year-old passionate conscious capitalist, an account manager for Improving and a dance enthusiast. This is the story of her journey to find a workplace that shares her values… “We are going to be taking the company in a different direction and this is your last week.” At times, those words echo in my head, as it was the moment that launched me into a new phase – job searching. As I

  • A Revolutionizing Relationship

    Theatro is a technology start-up that worked hand-in-hand alongside The Container Store for the past few years to create voice-controlled wearable devices for our store employees. These unique devices allow employees to better communicate with each other on the sales floor, while serving our customers. We recently sat down with Theatro CEO and Co-Founder, Chris Todd and asked him about the special nature of his company’s relationship with The Container Store. In the BeginningTheatro founders,
