Shipping containers are increasingly used for restaurants, bars, and more. Image courtesy of Railgarten. Memphis is no stranger to innovative culinary institutions, and the city is home to several unique restaurants. This includes at least two shipping container restaurant establishments. Radical Tacos has recently closed its doors, but it was a shipping container based restaurant that offered guests a unique dining experience out of a shipping container. More recently, Railgarten is a complex of shipping containers in Memphis that serves as a restaurant and entertainment center for the community. Besides having a great menu and a unique atmosphere thanks to its shipping container construction, Railgarten provides entertainment and live music during events– a great place to hang out with friends if you’re in the area. Using a storage container like the ones we sell at Rent-A-Container is the perfect low cost, sustainable way to start out your own culinary endeavor, too. Since they are reusable and cut down on the waste of constructing a new building, many entrepreneurs find shipping containers to be a more affordable way to launch their own restaurants and bars. If you’re trying to start one yourself, it might be worthwhile to look into using a shipping container as your base of operations!

Retail

Many of us are familiar with the trend of using shipping containers for bars or restaurants. But it’s also becoming more common to find retail districts in cities made entirely out of shipping containers. Memphis is no exception to this trend, either– the Shab Chic Marketplace at The Edge provides small and local business owners the opportunity to pull in customers in the Medical District, all while providing a unique shopping experience that only the atmosphere of a shipping container complex can provide. Shipping container retail districts can be good ways to draw in younger customers, not to mention to house small and growing businesses before they find a larger or more permanent location. Will you use a shipping container for your up and coming business?
