Next month, a convenience store will open in Scott, Louisiana, that will be made from two repurposed shipping containers melded together and painted to look like a red and white barn.
The 640 square-foot store won't be near many peoples' homes. But it will be on the way for busy moms and dads driving their kids to and from school and oilfield workers heading to work -- and that's what matters to owner Robert Pressler. Pressler, who has lived in Louisiana for eight years, is the first franchisee to open a drive-thru Farm Stores location in the state."When I moved to Louisiana, there was a drive-thru everything," said Pressler.
The repurposed store is manufactured using two containers and features tiled floors, sliding glass doors, and a canopy over the roof. The inside includes a baking station and employee bathroom.Once the containers are delivered, the store is welded into place on a concrete foundation."The containers are very strong and made to withstand inclement weather, even hurricane force winds," said Bared, adding that the sustainable and eco-friendly building concept is also easy to maintain.
