Columbus is no stranger to shipping container restaurants. Image courtesy of Columbus Underground.

In recent years, it’s become more and more common to find restaurants and bars establishing semi-permanent locations for themselves in shipping containers. Shipping container restaurants can be remarkably cost effective, especially for smaller or new businesses just starting out. 

Columbus is home to its fair share of pop up container restaurants, too-- the city has at least three container eateries at the moment. The most recent of these, Charleys, is made up of three shipping containers and includes a drive thru as well as several tables for patrons.

Do you have a dream of establishing your own restaurant or cafe in Columbus? Consider adapting a shipping container into your dream establishment. Shipping containers like the ones we sell at Rent-A-Container are perfect low cast, sustainable ways of starting out your own culinary endeavors.

Freight Shipping

As the capital of Ohio, it might not be particularly surprising that freight shipping is a major part of the economy in Columbus. Interestingly, though, in spite of its location on the Scioto River, water cargo is not common in Columbus. Shipping by rail or road is a different story, though-- Columbus and the surrounding areas are full of railways and a network of constantly growing roads.

If you need to ship cargo over land to or from Columbus, Rent-A-Container can help! With our land and rail-worthy shipping containers, your supplies will get where it needs to go.

Pop-Up Shopping Centers

Shipping containers are often used as restaurants, bars, and cafes, but they can also support various other types of business. Many cities have taken to building retail districts out of shipping containers to give back to the community and provide a unique place for young people to hang out.

While Columbus has no long-standing shipping container complexes yet, the city has started experimenting with pop-up container parks. In 2015, for example, a temporary shipping container park was set up in Franklinton to support small local businesses and artists looking for a way to draw community interest. Although the container park was never meant to be long-term, it was certainly a great way to give back to the community.

If you have an idea for a shipping container project of your own-- whether that means a temporary retail container park or a permanent small shop-- Columbus might be a great place for your venture!
