It’s the day many area shoppers have been waiting for — the opening of Loudoun County’s first Container Store. The new location at One Loudoun opened its doors today — Saturday, July 27.
Shoppers streamed into the 17,000+ s.f. store with its aisles and shelves packed with baskets, bins, filing cabinets, desks, organizers, dorm room supplies, and much more.
The Ashburn location features “a Custom Spaces Studio, showcasing custom closets, living, and garage displays from The Container Store’s exclusive Elfa & Preston lines, as well as a design center,” an announcement about the opening read.
The Container Store — part of a national chain — has taken over the space vacated by Great Gatherings, a defunct outdoor furniture retailer. That’s across the street from the Barnes & Noble bookstore in the center.
The previous closest Container Store location to Loudoun had been over in Reston.
