CHARLOTTE, N.C. — You’ve probably seen them at shipping ports, but now Boxman Studios is turning a box into a business.
“It was the middle of the recession. I had a real estate development company that wasn’t gonna be building things out of sticks and bricks, and I had to find a new way to do what I was doing,” said founder and CEO, David Campbell.
So here's what Boxman Studios does. They turn old shipping containers into businesses, like coffee shops, restaurants and even banks. In fact, you’ve probably seen them in Charlotte at the Susan G. Komen race, Epicentre, or Burr and Berry, the newest coffee shop opening soon in Indian Land.
The company’s worked with Porsche, Under Armour, even Nike, too, but never thought it’d be where it is today.
“I would love to tell you that I had an epiphany that this was where we were gonna be in 10 years, and I’d be absolutely lying to you if I said that to you,” Campbell said.
