Modifications FAQs

  • Are Shipping Containers suitable for converting into cafes or kiosks?

    Yes, Shipping Containers are ideal for pop up cafes or kiosks. The advantage is they can be delivered ready to plug and play and you have the flexibility to move them when required.

    Unlike traditional shop fit outs, when you convert a container, you are not spending money to improve a landlord’s premises and you will never be forced to pay de-fit! Be sure to check out our projects and gallery for café and kiosk inspiration.
