Why Containers Make the Perfect Club Shop: Horsham FC Case Study

At ST Containers, we pride ourselves on providing fast, flexible, and reliable container hire across Sussex and the South East. Most recently, we had the pleasure of working with Crawley Town Football Club, delivering a pair of high-quality shipping containers to We’re delighted to share another successful container conversion project – this time for Horsham Football Club, where we’ve supplied and delivered a new club shop container.

The new shop sits alongside an existing ST Containers storage unit already in use at the club – showing how different container types can work together to provide long-lasting, secure solutions for football grounds.

Container Conversions for Football Clubs

Football clubs need secure, durable and cost-effective retail spaces, and container conversions provide just that. By starting with a robust steel unit, we can adapt the design to meet each club’s exact requirements.

For Horsham FC, this meant creating a fully fitted club shop container designed to handle matchday crowds, merchandise displays, and stock security.

Key Features of the Horsham FC Club Shop Conversion

Our fabrication team delivered a complete conversion, including:

• Double access doors for easy entry and exit.
• A serving hatch to manage sales efficiently on busy matchdays.
• A professional internal fit-out, ideal for merchandise display and retail.
• Full paint respray, giving the unit a fresh, club-ready finish.

The result is a secure club shop container that looks the part and functions perfectly for retail.

From Fabrication to Delivery

The project covered the full journey:

• Specification – working with Horsham FC to plan the shop layout.
• Conversion & fabrication – carrying out the structural changes and retail fit-out.
• Painting – respraying the container in a durable, professional finish.
• Collection & delivery – transporting the finished unit from the fabricators.
• On-site positioning – safely placing the container alongside the club’s existing storage unit.

Secure Club Shop Containers – Built to Last

With robust steel construction, fitted doors, and a secure hatch, containers make an ideal option for football club retail spaces. They are weatherproof, secure against theft, and can be delivered directly to site ready for use.

For Horsham FC, this solution ensures a dedicated space for merchandise sales, helping enhance both supporter experience and club revenue.
