At Valley Containers, we pride ourselves on transforming spaces to meet the unique needs of our clients. Our recent collaboration with Erica Girls Primary School in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) is a testament to this commitment. When the school approached us to address their tuck shop challenges, we knew we had an exciting opportunity to create something special.
Understanding the Challenge
Erica Girls Primary School needed a practical and efficient solution for a tuck shop, which serves students during school hours and the general public during weekend sports events. Our goal was to develop a solution that was not only practical but also aesthetically beautiful and welcoming.

Our Solution
After careful consideration and collaboration with the school, we developed an insulated 6m storage container that would serve as their new kitchen. This conversion included several key features:
We developed an insulated 6m storage container to serve as the new kitchen, ensuring a controlled environment for food storage and preparation. The ample space provided enough room for packing and serving food, making operations smoother and more efficient. Additionally, the inclusion of decking and a roof created a comfortable and inviting space for both staff and the school’s students looking to buy a tasty meal. The design also prioritized safety and a welcoming atmosphere, essential for a school environment.
To make the new tuck shop truly special, Nicci Swartz was commissioned to design and paint the exterior artwork. Her creative touch added vibrancy and a unique identity to the container, making it not just a functional space, but a visually appealing one as well.
The new tuck shop at Erica Girls Primary School is now a hub of activity and enjoyment. It serves the school community during weekdays and transforms into a service point for the general public during sports events on weekends. This dual functionality maximizes the use of the space and benefits the broader community.
