Restaurants

Philadelphia is famous for its food and culture, so it should come as no shock that it’s home to some creative dining locations. The restaurants and food trucks at Piazza Pod Park are an excellent example. This shipping container park, which opened in 2019, features a variety of food options, and all of them are housed in shipping containers! Using a storage container like the ones we sell at Rent-A-Container is a wonderful low cost, sustainable way to launch your very own culinary endeavors. Shipping containers are reusable and much less wasteful to manufacture than construction of a whole new building, making them an ideal way to start a business – especially one targeted toward young people and families, like Piazza Pod Park is.

Entertainment

Many of us are familiar with what a shipping container restaurant or eatery looks like, and Philadelphia has several options available. But it’s less common to see a whole multi-purpose entertainment district built within a shipping container park – and Piazza Pod Park is unique in that it offers a lot more than just food options. The park, framed by container eateries, bars, and coffee shops, also houses contemporary art, spaces for live music to play at special events, several “fitness pods” to help guests get in shape, and even a nursing pod for young families’ benefit. With so many things to see, this container park truly is a great place to find entertainment on your Saturday evenings!

Housing

The benefits of using shipping containers for storage purposes are widespread and easy to see. Even the prospect of using a container as a business or a restaurant has become easier to swallow as shipping container businesses have cropped up around the globe. But these containers can be great options for housing, too! Shipping containers can be modified and reinforced to serve as your very own tiny home – comfy, stylish, and much cheaper than a lot of traditional houses. Although you’ll definitely want to do plenty of research about your area’s building restrictions, standards, and permits, purchasing a shipping container like the ones we sell at Rent-A-Container can be a great first step toward creating your very own container home in Philadelphia.
