The Container Store has finally made its way to Michigan, bringing with it 22,000 square feet of storage solutions, office products, and so much more! With over 10,000 products on display, this organizer’s paradise opens Saturday, June 4th in Novi (Novi Road and I-96, in the former Best Buy building). I’d never had the pleasure of seeing The Container Store in person until this week, when I was given the opportunity to check out a special sneak peek of the Novi store. And whoo, lemme tell you . . . it did not disappoint.

You know that saying, “like a kid in a candy shop?” Or maybe it’s, “Like a tech nerd in a Microsoft store.” I dunno. However you spin it, The Container Store is my happy place. I mean, it’s filled with lots of colors and things that will make my house pretty—who wouldn’t love that?

Some crazy/cool things I learned from The Container Store crew:
– The Container Store sells 70 different styles of hangers. SEVENTY. DIFFERENT. STYLES.
– Choose from 50 types of laundry hampers
300 food storage solutions
750 office products
400 travel organization solutions
– Every full-time TCS salesperson receives over 266 hours of training during their first year, compared to the retail industry’s average of 7-10 hours
– TCS offers in-home consultations (yep, have them visit to design your dream closet!)
– They may have found the answer to world peace.*

Okay, that last bulletpoint* was my own embellishment, but can you blame me? We’re talking color-coding and the end of our kitchen drawers getting stuck on disheveled utensils, and . . . ah, it’s going to be great.
