The Container Store Business Overview
The Container Store sells storage and organization products and custom closets. Before its bankruptcy, it operated 103 stores averaging about 24,000 square feet, as of September 28, 2024.
On December 22, 2024, The Container Store Group filed a prepackaged Chapter 11 case supported by holders of more than 90% of its term loan claims. The court confirmed the plan on January 24, 2025, and the company emerged on January 28, 2025, then deregistered its stock and stopped filing reports with the SEC. It continues to operate stores under The Container Store name; it no longer reports a store count in SEC filings.
The Container Store Credit Profile
The Container Store has no verified public credit rating in our database, and as a private company it does not publish financial statements. A lease that survived the bankruptcy was assumed by the reorganized company, but the tenant’s credit now rests on its post-bankruptcy balance sheet, which investors cannot review publicly. Ask for financial information and check the lease guarantor.
Ratings come from our tenant ratings database and update when agencies change them. A rating at or above BBB‑/Baa3 is investment grade; see the investment grade guide.
