We’re down to level 2 in South Africa but the pandemic is far from over. However, we can’t wait any longer to open up the economy and salvage what’s left of it. The reality is that millions of people have lost their jobs and have been suffering to put food on the table for months.

Now that we can work again, albeit some restrictions, it’s time to get the creative juices flowing and start thinking about new ways to make a living. Obviously, with budget restrictions in mind. So, here are some shipping container conversion ideas to help you get inspired so you can set up your own business.

Food Stand

If there’s one thing that people will always spend money on, it’s food. We all have to eat! Converting a shipping container into a working kitchen with outside seating might just be genius and 100% doable. Making a success of your food stand is as easy as serving good food at affordable prices and being consistent with your offerings.

Coffee Shop

Another thing humans can’t live without is coffee. No matter the season, you will always have customers! Especially if your coffee is good. Choose a busy location, add some delicious ‘to-go’ snacks and you’re set up for success.

Internet Cafe

These days, everything we do is online and requires fast internet speeds. However, most of our mobile service providers leave a lot to be desired. As an internet cafe owner, you spend money on fast internet once and get it back in tenfolds by charging customers per minute or hour.

Playgroup/Daycare

Now that parents are starting to go back to work, they might need someone to look after their kids. If you have the patience and qualifications to teach little kids, why not open your own daycare or playgroup?

These are just some ideas of what shipping containers can be used for. When it comes to container conversions, the sky’s the limit. For more information or to request a free quote on shipping container rentals or sales, get in touch with the team at Atlantis Containers today!
