OpenContainer is the world’s first franchise of modern wine bars designed inside repurposed shipping containers. Sleek, mobile, and eye-catching — each unit is a fully equipped, plug-and-pour wine experience that can be placed in high-traffic locations like malls, markets, and event venues.
With no kitchen, low staffing needs, and exclusive private label wines, it’s a smarter, faster, and more flexible way to step into the hospitality space — even if you’ve never owned a business before.
Tired of the 9–5 grind and ready to build something of your own
An investor looking for a low-overhead, high-margin concept
A wine lover who wants to turn passion into profit
Looking for a fun, design-forward concept that stands out in your city
Our private label wines are imported and distributed in-house — cutting out the middlemen and maximizing your margins.
No kitchen. No full restaurant build. No expensive lease. That means less risk and more profit from day one.
One or two team members can run the entire bar — perfect for keeping things lean and simple.
Your container arrives pre-built and ready to go. No months-long construction or complex permitting.
While most food businesses take 12+ months to open, you can be pouring wine in weeks.
Whether you want to be hands-on or semi-absentee, this business adapts to your goals — without taking over your life.

“I’ve worked in hospitality all my life, but OpenContainer gave me the chance to actually own something of my own. The container build-out was done fast, and we opened with strong foot traffic. People love the slushies and exclusive wines. It’s simple, profitable, and fun to run.”
“After years of looking at different franchise models, this one just made sense. I had $150K to invest, and they worked with me to get it going. The wine club model and private label upsell are genius. I’ve never seen people so excited to sign up and keep coming back.”
