Hospitality Businesses Love Shipping Containers, and This is Why

When the world demands flexible, durable and cost-effective building solutions, leave it to the ingenuity of mankind to create amazing solutions.

Right here in Southwestern Ontario, businesses are jumping at the opportunity to purchase and retrofit gently used shipping containers. With the cost, time and frustration of standard construction, it just makes sense!

So, what are Ontario’s hospitality business owners doing with their sea cans?

Shipping Container Cafės/Bars

Outfit the unit in all of the necessary upgrades you need: electricity, windows, doors, air conditioning – even a bar is not out of the question. Just don’t forget to buy us a drink!
