Container Ice Cream Shop

Starting at $140,000

This ice cream shop design shows how shipping containers can be transformed into eye-catching, functional spaces.

In this model, we adjoined one 40-foot and one 20-foot shipping container to create a unique ice cream shop. This model can be recreated exactly as shown or customized for your business needs.

Every aspect of this ice cream shop —from layout and finishes to colors and branding— can be modified so your space reflects your vision and serves your community.

**Photos are representative of the container build, but are not exact replicas of our base models. Decks, external cladding, and stairs are not included in Backcountry Containers estimated pricing.**
