CHICAGO - The Container Store, the nation’s originator and leading retailer of storage and organization products, will open its new, Chicago South Loop location at The Roosevelt Collection on Saturday, November 15. The Chicago South Loop store will be the 69th store nationwide and fifth location in Chicago. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply online for a chance to work at one of FORTUNE’s 100 Best Companies to Work For®.
With each Grand Opening, The Container Store partners with a local nonprofit. The brand is thrilled that Step Up will receive 10 percent of the new store’s Grand Opening Weekend sales as part of its commitment to give back to local communities. Step Up is a nonprofit membership organization focused on propelling girls from under-resourced communities to fulfill their potential by empowering them to become confident, college-bound, career-focused, and ready to join the next generation of professional women.
The Container Store created the storage and organization category of retail in 1978 when it opened its first store in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Since its inception, the brand has nurtured an employee-first culture coupled with a high-level of customer service - and is excited to continue to bring both elements to even more customers in Chicago.
