Modified Shipping Container Concepts for Every Business

Container Concepts® specializes in creating eco-friendly and sustainable solutions for businesses in Santa Barbara and beyond. Our expertise involves transforming recycled shipping containers into unique and visually appealing container restaurant concepts, container bar concepts, container retail concepts, and container event space concepts.

With extensive experience in the food service industry and construction, we offer turnkey and customized modular solutions tailored to your needs. These include shipping container kitchens, cafes, food trucks, bars, beer gardens, coffee shops, retail stores, pop-up shops, event venues, and mobile businesses. If you're looking to launch a new concept or expand your existing business, we guide you through the entire process, from design to construction and installation, providing a seamless and efficient experience.

Container Concepts® provides unique functional modular business solutions, creating complete food service, retail, and event businesses in a box. Standard sizes include 8'x10', 20', and 40', with the ability to customize sizes and join containers together to form larger spaces. We can also provide complete site construction and placement services through our strategic partners, offering a comprehensive design-build project.

Our food service and bar containers are outfitted with full-sized, health code-compliant, NSF-rated kitchen equipment and surfaces. Containers can be customized with a provided equipment list, drawing, or layout, or we can assist with selecting the proper equipment for your concept. Additionally, all our food service, retail, and event containers can be equipped with options like HVAC, digital menus, touch screens, POP displays, AV equipment, Wi-Fi, and giant LED screens. Brand logos can be wrapped or strategically placed through fabrication and signage, and we can incorporate exterior textures like faux rock or wood to match the theme of your location or concept.

We can provide all drawings and materials for permitting at an additional cost, if needed. Because the shipping containers are considered equipment, they can be purchased as such and amortized immediately, potentially qualifying for the IRS Section 179 tax rebate on the purchase. Please consult your accountant or a tax professional for more information.
