Lockers, baskets, hangers and other household items available at The Container Store in West Des Moines, Iowa. The Container Store appears to be planning a new location in Germantown.

The Container story is heading to Germantown, if the agenda for Thursday's Design Review Commission Subcommittee meeting is any indication.

The chain, which specialized in organization products, filed a signage request for 2130 Exeter Road inside Germantown Collection, next to the proposed Trader Joe's location. The store has requested signage from the Design Review Commission.

According to Germantown Alderman Forrest Owens, the Design Review Commission subcommittee will hear the store's request for signs Thursday. The entire Design Review Commission will hear the signage request July 24.

Jessica Comas, Germantown marketing and communications manager, said the application was filed June 28.

"We do not have any additional information to share at this time," Mara Richter, public relations director of The Container Store, said in an email.

The Texas-headquartered store's only Tennessee location is in Nashville. The closest store to the Memphis area is in Little Rock, Arkansas.

The store specializes in different kinds of organizational supplies for home and office. It can also send an employee out to a location to measure and set up spaces.
