Storage containers

For those of you who like starbucks or even not.... here is a very inventive way to reuse storage containers. When goods are shipped from china the large containers stay here because we dont ship enough back. It cost china more to ship them back then it does to make a new one. There are people who even build houses from these type of containers and now Starbucks built an entire store from them. The beauty of this store... if they decide to move it, they just break up the containers, load them on trucks and move to a new location and put it back together again.
