The Container Store is expanding its commitment to nearly 4,000 professional organizers and small businesses, opening its stores as community spaces and adding marketing, education and networking resources. The company, part of Neighborhood Intelligence, Inc. (Nasdaq: NXH), announced the move on November 9, 2026, according to Business Wire.

The Container Store Opens Stores to Organizers

The Container Store is a U.S. specialty retailer of home storage, organization and custom closet solutions, with more than 100 retail locations and e-commerce. Following its 2026 acquisition by Bed Bath & Beyond, it is being integrated into a co-branded "Everything Home" retail ecosystem, according to akta.pro company records.

The expanded commitment builds on work already underway. Earlier this fall, The Container Store invited organizers across the country to share their businesses through a new online organizer directory, helping customers find organizing expertise in their own neighborhoods. The company followed with a nationwide casting call to identify organizers and businesses to feature across its stores and marketing channels.

"We have nearly 4,000 organizers in our network, and they are so much more than business partners. They're our neighbors, and they've helped make The Container Store what it is today," said Amy Sullivan, President of Neighborhood Intelligence. "Our store is your store. Our space is your space."

The company is also planning expanded marketing and education opportunities, including more ways to feature local businesses in stores, on its website, through email and across social media. Additional education, networking and business-building resources are being developed.

Neighborhood Intelligence's Retail Rollout

Neighborhood Intelligence is the holding company for Bed Bath & Beyond, The Container Store and other brands. In October 2026, Neighborhood Intelligence selected RELEX to unify supply chain planning across its store and distribution network, PR Newswire reported.

According to company records, Bed Bath & Beyond acquired The Container Store for approximately $150 million in stock and convertible notes in April 2026, including Elfa and Closet Works. The company opened its first co-branded Bed Bath & Beyond + The Container Store location in Fort Worth, Texas, in May 2026, targeting more than 300 stores across multiple formats. In June 2026, it rolled out phase one of the co-branded retail concept to 22 locations.

Earlier Moves in The Container Store's Network

In May 2026, Bed Bath & Beyond's first co-branded store with The Container Store opened in Fort Worth, Texas, marking the first physical rollout of their planned partnership, Retail Dive reported. In August 2026, The Container Store ran "The Big Organizing Event," featuring discounts of up to 40% on various categories, Bob Vila reported. In October 2026, The Container Store closed its Spring-Klein area location, directing customers to three other nearby stores or to shop online, Community Impact reported.

The Container Store's online organizer directory is available at containerstore.com/find-an-organizer.
