The Container Store Group 101
The Container Store Group is a retail giant focused on containers, as its name suggests. The company is focused on what it calls organizing solutions, custom spaces, and in-home services, aiming to “transform lives through the power of organization.”
The Container Store Group’s revenue has dropped off a cliff in the last few years after climbing between FY14 to FY22, capped off by strong covid-based growth. TCS’s revenue is projected to drop -10% in its FY24 and another -3% next year.

The company in early October received a financial lifeline from Bed Bath & Beyond owner Beyond. TCS said on Oct. 15 that it entered into agreement with Beyond, Inc. to invest $40 million in The Container Store Group, Inc. through a preferred equity transaction.
The deal came roughly five months after The Container Store said it was launching a strategic review of its business. The Container Store Group said in August it would stop providing financial guidance as it evaluated strategic alternatives amid a challenging environment.
The company reported an adjusted Q2 FY24 loss of -$3.23 a share on October 29, falling well shy of our Zacks estimate. The Container Store Group’s earnings outlook has dropped since its recent release, helping it land a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).
