Summer days at The Container Store headquarters are anything but lazy! Here's what's been going on lately…
Distribution Center Water Truck Celebrity "Water Features"
Every summer, The Container Store runs our afternoon Distribution Center "Water Truck," a cart carrying chilled water to deliver to our employees while they are working. Leaders in our Support Center office join in the fun to hand out water. Retired TCS co-founder Garrett Boone returns to our Coppell, Texas facility to make the water truck run - and this year, he came twice!
On his first visit, Garrett was hosted by Senior VP of Finance, Maria Thereza Neisler (meeting Garrett was a dream come true for her!) and Senior Director of Payroll, Benefits & Cultural, Claudine Tudgay. Executive Chairman Joel Bines joined Garrett for his second run. What a special treat it was for our teams to connect with past and present leaders!
These visits provided opportunities for our current senior leadership to spend time with one of our founders, and to show gratitude for our DC employees while bringing them a little relief from the heat!
Back to School Drive in Support of Community Partners of Dallas
Throughout July and August, our Support Center employees rallied behind the Community Partners of Dallas (CPD) Back to School supply drive by collecting over $10,000 in donations through sample sales, silent auctions, bake sales and direct supply donations. CPD supports Dallas County children in the care of Child Protective Services, providing essential needs state funds do not cover, like new backpacks filled with school supplies and uniforms, ensuring children have what they need today to thrive tomorrow.
Joel Bines Hosts Support Center Summer Social
In an act of characteristic generosity, our executive chairman Joel Bines treated our headquarters employees to a gourmet ice cream sundae bar from local scoop shop Henry's Homemade Ice Cream to celebrate months of above and beyond dedication and focus on the business. Joel donned classic soda jerk gear to assist in serving!
