Have you ever re-organized a closet and after a few months you still feel like it's not good enough? You continue to fumble around with your current system and try to believe that it's good enough but it's just not.  That's how I started to feel and I shook it off and tried to deal but month after month I just couldn't deal. I didn't have enough room for all of my shoes, folded pants were getting crowded, and my handbags were falling over and not fitting perfectly into the top shelf.  So I decided to do something about it and I'm so stoked to show you how it turned out!

A Look Inside The Container Store in King of Prussia + 5 Facts

Um Hi, my name is Ellen and I'm obsessed with anything having to do with organizing!   I almost had a panic attack as I walked into The Container Store in King of Prussia.  I actually got to preview the store last week before it even opened!

    I arrived to find boxed lunches for all attendees and a nice seating area with some goodies on each chair.  
So here are some awesome pics of the store and a few things I learned about it.  


Elfa!!!!   What a great solution for organizing a closet!   So many hanger!   Awesome Jewelry Storage Drawers!   I totally need these!    Travel Goodies Galore!  Here are some of the other ladies, including Jessie from Trend Hungry!  Great acrylic organizing storage and sticky stuff!! I call this: THE RAINBOW WALL!   TO DO LISTS! AHHH MY FAVORITE!   There were tons of other containers for gifts, decoration, and practically any other idea you can come up with!  So what did I learn?   A few things: 

1. This King of Prussia location is their first in Pennsylvania! The 24,000 square feet of storage and organizing solutions is well worth the drive! 

2. No other retailer offers this much stuff!    They have over 300 food storage solutions, 750 organized office products, 45 types of laundry hampers, 350 organized travel products, and 70 styles of hangers! 

3. The average full-time salesperson at The Container Store goes through over 263 hours of training.   This ensures the best customer service to all customers so you never have to feel lost and alone when trying to make a decision or figure something out while in store! 

4. The Container Store loves their employees.  They even have somewhat of a "rainy day fund" that they donated $100,000 into last year so that if something tragic happens to an employee they can help with costs whether it's a natural disaster or a bad personal experience.  That is so amazing to me! You can read more about how much they care about their employees and customers on their blog, What We Stand For. 

5. They support Made in the USA products.  You can find them everywhere you look!
