After years of speculation, plans have been filed for a Container Store location in Oklahoma City.





The 23,000 square foot store would be at the far northwest corner of the Penn Square Mall parking lot.





Although renderings have deleted the store name, the design is clearly one of more recent free-standing Container Stores built elsewhere around the U.S.

Also, reliable sources tell OKCTalk this will indeed be a Container Store.

The first tiny 1,600 square foot store was opened in 1978 in Dallas. Since that time the company, now based in Coppell, Texas, has opened approximately 80 locations across the United States.

The featured merchandise is designed to “simplify your life” through various organization products and services.



As the typical size for a store is 25,000 square feet, this new location would be about average for the chain.
