With construction costs at an all-time high, several small businesses have looked to shipping containers for their offices and stores. Several of these have been opened during the past year in San Jose del Cabo. Here are four the provide an example of the range of uses of shipping containers.
This bright yellow retail clothing and accessories store is located at the third round about as you drive to Puerto Los Cabos from San Jose del Cabo. This retail store has a nice selection of clothes for both women and men as well as accessories. The young woman who was managing the store was very helpful. There is parking outside and in the future, they will offer food from the food truck set up beside the trailers.

Traveling down the East Cape Road for another mile or so, you will encounter a small container based convenience store, La Casa de Los Abuelos. We had watched this place being built on our trips back and forth from San Jose del Cabo to Zacatitos. It is called the “House of the Grandparents” because behind the store is a house that is owned by the Grandfather and was built with his son, a local contractor, who also builds with containers. The store offers lots of the products needed for your home as well as drinks, snacks and more. In the future, they will be offering food from their small kitchen, which you can enjoy in the covered patio in front of the store.
Located at the start of Calle Centenario just past the Pemex station at the top of the hill in San Jose del Cabo is La Sabrosa, an ice cream parlor in a pink container.
