The Container Store Opens in Bridgewater, NJ

On Thursday, April 5th, I attended the VIP opening of The Container Store at Chimney Rock Crossing West, 335 Chimney Rock Road in Bound Brook, NJ. I got a sneak peek at the new store, and shopped more than 11,000 storage and organization products, including hundreds of closet essentials at 25% off! The Container Store has partnered with Safe + Sound Somerset, donating 10% of the VIP and Grand Opening Weekend sales to this wonderful nonprofit and helping the local community. 

I'm used to going to The Container Store in NYC, and this Bridgewater location is definitely larger, more spacious, and has more merchandise. The Container Store also offers a suite of custom closet solutions from the retailer's built-in TCS Closets™ to completely adjustable elfa® solutions. As I shopped through each aisle, I realized just how much spring cleaning and organization I need to do. The Container Store is easily sectioned to help you find exactly what you need or inspire you to tackle specific projects:

- Closet Organization 

- Jewelry Storage

- Kitchen Organization 

(organize your cabinets, drawers, refrigerator and pantry 

with canisters, bins, drawer organizers stackable shelving 

and elfa Door & Wall Rack)

- Clean Up Your Vanity 

(including acrylic makeup organizers)

- Make the Most of Your Office Space

Here's a look at some of my favorite items I found at The Container Store
