Project Spotlight: Live Nation Rental Kiosks

Project Background

In this project spotlight we highlight the shipping container rental kiosks we built for Live Nation Entertainment, one of the world’s leading live entertainment companies that promotes, operates, and manages venues, festivals, and ticket sales for live entertainment internationally. Live Nation entrusted ROXBOX to design, build & deliver 27 high-quality custom kiosk containers to 12 different Live Nation concert venues across the United States. These 20’, 30’, & 40’ mobile units will be used for lawn chair and blanket rentals, allowing guests to comfortably watch a concert without having to lug in their own supplies. Designed to be mobile, the kiosks can be moved around the venues depending on demand & needs for different concerts & events. 

During our pre-construction Phases 1 & 2, ROXBOX worked with the Live Nation team to create their custom designs and develop a strong production & delivery timeline. A key part in creating the delivery timeline was understanding the complexities of delivering units to numerous venues across the country. While the client was interested in 20’, 30’ and 40’ units, we recommended not doing 30’ modules to save on time and cost. However, due to space constraints at multiple venues, the project required some modules to be that custom 30’ length. We therefore developed the most cost-effective approach to manufacture a custom 30’ length shipping container.

With the plan in place, we unleashed our fantastic production team to produce all 27 custom units as quickly and efficiently as possible without compromising our high-quality standards. We set up a LEAN production line for these units and dedicated an entire production lane in our Houston factory for this project. Upon the completion of each unit, we worked with the main point of contact at each respective venue to coordinate transportation and logistics. This comprehensive and robust approach allowed the Live Nation team to work with ROXBOX to seamlessly execute this project from idea to design to production to delivery.

Live Nation is setting the standard in sustainability for events, establishing environmental goals for all Live Nation venues and festivals, such as: phasing out the sale of single-use plastics, a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, and setting the goal of all offices, venues, and events to be zero waste to landfill by 2030. Therefore, upcycling a shipping container was an important aspect of this project, as it perfectly aligns with Live Nation’s sustainability goals and incentives.

ROXBOX is proud to earn another Fortune 500’s trust as a valuable manufacturing partner producing high-quality custom shipping containers at scale.

Project Spotlight: East Side Denton 20' BillyBox

Project Background

In this blog we highlight the 20’ BillyBox (full-service shipping container bar) we built for East Side Denton, a rustic bar focused on beer, scotch & whiskey with food trucks, a beer garden, and yard games in historic downtown Denton, Texas. This full-service shipping container bar will be used to serve beer on tap, canned/bottled beverages, cocktails, and slushies to the beer garden’s guests all year long. With 10 taps, three service windows, and a walk-in cooler, this unit will be able to handle crowds of all sizes.

Upcycling a shipping container was an important aspect of this project, as the East Side Denton team not only prioritizes sustainability at their venue, but the industrial aesthetic of the BillyBox perfectly fits East Side’s rustic vibe. The two-tone blue paint job really makes the unit “pop”, along with the Denton disco ball added after this unit opened its doors.

Specs & Modifications

Project specs and modifications include:

  • 20’ standard one-trip shipping container
  • (3) Service windows with retractable awnings
  • 7’W x 7’L Walk-in cooler w/ Trusscore walls & ceiling and diamond plate floor
  • 10-tap direct-draw draft system
  • Reclaimed wood tap wall
  • Ice maker & ice well
  • Stainless steel interior & exterior countertops
  • Triple sink, dump sink & hand sink
  • Merchandiser refrigerator, shelving, storage, and fans
  • Employee door
  • Operable cargo door for walk-in refrigerator
  • 100 AMP electrical system & lights
  • Plumbing w/ hot water heater and tank system
  • Interior & exterior custom two-tone paint

Location

The BillyBox is the centerpiece of Austin Street Truck Stop, the outdoor beer garden and food truck park at East Side Denton. With the BillyBox located in the center of the large outdoor patio, guests are able to grab a beverage from the container bar while perusing the many food truck options surrounding the seating area.

Project Scope

ROXBOX coordinated with the client to execute design + build + delivery of a turn-key 20’ BillyBox model. By opting for one of our mobile-classified ROXBOX models, the East Side Denton team chose the fastest, easiest, and cheapest option ROXBOX offers. The ROXBOX team handled every aspect of the project from design & code compliance to build & delivery.

Project Timeline

By choosing a ROXBOX model, the pre-construction timeline for this project was cut to less than a week as we coordinated the colors and some optional upgrades with the client. Production took less than 4 weeks and this unit was delivered + generating revenue within 6 weeks from when this order was taken.

Project Spotlight: Carowinds Mobile BillyBoxes

Project Background

In this blog we highlight the two 20′ mobile BillyBoxes (full-service shipping container bars) we built for Carowinds Amusement Park outside Charlotte, North Carolina. Carowinds is a 407-acre amusement park owned and operated by Cedar Fair and has served as the premier amusement park destination for Carolinians since it opened in 1973.

Carowinds approached ROXBOX in 2022 in need of two mobile bars that they could move around the park and the BillyBox was the perfect solution for their team. With a walk-in cooler and onboard fresh & grey water tanks, the bars can be moved around the park to optimize sales at new locations and/or accommodate event-driven demand. The 6-tap direct-draw draft system, ice maker, ice well, triple sink, dump sink, hand sink, merchandiser refrigerator, and plenty of extra space for additional equipment allow the park to serve beer on tap, canned/bottled beverages, cocktails, and snacks to park guests. With unique color schemes and branding on each unit, the BillyBoxes are able to seamlessly fit into the different themes of the park while also catching the attention of guests.

Upcycling shipping containers was an important aspect of this project, as the Cedar Fair team is prioritizing their sustainability initiatives at all of their parks across the country. Not only are the BillyBoxes eye-catching, durable, and functional, but they also support Cedar Fair’s CSR (Corporate Social Sustainability) goals.

Specs & Modifications

Project specs and modifications include:

  • 20’ standard one-trip shipping container
  • (3) Service windows with retractable awnings
  • 7’W x 7’L Walk-in cooler w/ Trusscore walls & ceiling and diamond plate floor
  • 6-tap direct-draw draft system

  • Merchandiser refrigerator, shelving, and storage
  • Employee door
  • Operable cargo door for walk-in refrigerator
  • 100 AMP electrical system & lights
  • Plumbing w/ hot water heater
  • Interior & exterior custom paint

Location

The BillyBoxes can be found at Carowinds Amusement Park outside Charlotte, North Carolina. One of the BillyBoxes is currently located at Aeronautica Landing, a brand new aviation-themed section of the park. Located in a hangar, the BillyBox has fittingly been named the “Aircraft Brewery”. The second BillyBox can currently be found in one of the park’s beer gardens, but the Carowinds team has plans to move this unit around the complex when the demand arises.

Project Scope

ROXBOX coordinated with the client to execute design + inspections/approvals + build + delivery of turn-key BillyBox models. By opting for one of our ROXBOX models, the Carowinds team opted for the fastest, easiest, and cheapest option ROXBOX offers. The ROXBOX team handled every aspect of the project from design to code compliance to build and delivery.

Project Timeline

Since the units are mobile and Carowinds opted for one of our pre-designed ROXBOX models (the 20′ BillyBox), the pre-construction phases of this project were quick. Upon the selection of optional upgrades to their BillyBox units, we moved the project directly into production. Once we received the materials, production of both units took less than 60 days.

Project Spotlight: Q'anápsu Dispensary

Project Background

Welcome to Q’anápsu, a 25-container dispensary built on the Cowlitz Reservation in Washington state. This project is one of the largest shipping container structures in the Western Hemisphere and is a true testament to volumetric modular construction. ROXBOX collaborated with the client to execute the design + build + on-site install of this shell pathway project, after which a local General Contractor finished the build-out on-site per our direction.

The permanent dispensary location capped off a long-running development plan for the tribe, as they looked to expand their Q’anápsu Dispensary operations beyond the mobile dispensary truck they were operating out of for years. The 25-container dispensary features a check-in entrance/patio, large retail space, ATM room, photo/selfie room, product storage space, employee back-of-house lounge, offices, and a secure driveway for product delivery. Ten (10) 40’ containers make up the first level and fifteen (15) 20’ & 40’ containers make up the second level. Two impressive cantilevers cap off the massive modular structure (one of which juts out 21 feet over the entrance patio), showcasing the true versatility of building with shipping containers. The structure is painted Q’anápsu’s iconic green and is decorated with various types of branding to truly make the structure pop from all angles.

Upcycling shipping containers was an important aspect of this project, as sustainability is a defining ethos of the Cowlitz people and they wanted to reflect that in all aspects of the build. Not only is this structure an important economic development that the tribe can use to employ members and bring in funds to the community, but it’s also a building they can be proud of everytime they look at it. The detail that went into the build and significance of the project can best be described by the tribe themselves: “Welcome to Q’anápsu, a unique dispensary experience brought to you by the Cowlitz people. Q’anápsu in our language means grass. Just like the hearty grasses throughout the prairies as you look east from where you stand, Q’anápsu has a thousand stories to tell. From artwork representing our beautiful landscape, to the shapes of traditional cedar hats, you’ll see our stories are woven throughout our store.”

Working with the Cowlitz Tribe and incorporating their culture, history, & story into every aspect of the build was a special opportunity for the ROXBOX team.

Q'anápsu Video Tour

Specs & Modifications

Project specs and modifications include:

  • Design, modeling, pre-construction management, and creation of stamped CD set
  • 25 shipping containers (both 20’ & 40’ ST and HC one-trip shipping containers)
  • Layout & fabrication of all penetrations
  • Modification of containers
  • Fabrication of structural reinforcement for penetrations
  • Install of exterior steel personnel doors
  • Interior framing
  • Spray foam insulation under ground floor units
  • Exterior painting of containers

  • Structural interior steelwork

Location

Q’anápsu is located on the Cowlitz Reservation in Washington state about 20 minutes north of Portand, Oregon. The dispensary is located on the grounds of the ilani Casino Resort, which is also owned and operated by the Cowlitz tribe.

Project Scope

ROXBOX collaborated with the client to execute the design + inspections/approvals + “shell” build + delivery + on-site install, while the client (in collaboration with a local General Contractor) finished the build-out on-site.

While we often are tapped to handle all of the design + build components of our projects, ownership chose to engage numerous parties to execute this project:

Project Timeline

ROXBOX spent several weeks helping the Q’anápsu team, including their architect, to finalize their CD set given it was their first foray into modular construction including bringing in our structural engineering team. The build-out and delivery of all 25 units took less than 4 months and the whole building was completed in less than 6 months, highlighting one of the biggest value propositions of modular construction – speed. This allowed the tribe to open ~40% faster than traditional construction methodologies, thereby generating significantly more revenue by being open so quickly.

Project Spotlight: SERV Shipping Container Park

Project Background

Welcome to SERV, a new pickleball-themed entertainment district located in Overland Park, Kansas outside Kansas City. The indoor and outdoor entertainment complex offers a variety of food concepts, pickleball courts, yard games and private event spaces. ROXBOX led the design of the outdoor shipping container park, in which 19 shipping containers were used for food & beverage concepts, retail/office suites, bathrooms, storage, and branding.

The outdoor container park features five 40’ container kitchens, one 20’ drive-thru & walk-up cafe, five 20’ office/retail/private lounge suites, one 40’ double-wide bathroom, one 40’ dry-storage container, one 40’ cold storage container, one 40’ tower, and a 40’ container bar with two 40’ containers stacked on top to support a 20’ X 10’ LCD screen & SERV signage. With tons of seating & dining options, a stage opening up to a large turf yard, and two large video boards, the space is perfect for watch parties, summer movie nights, or a day out with family & friends. Two outdoor pickleball courts with stadium seating cap off the container park.

The SERV team capitalized on utilizing many of our standard models, thereby leading to a more efficient pre-construction phase of the project. On the other side, they chose to bring in numerous other firms which led to some delays through the construction phases of the project.

SERV’s indoor facility offers 6 pickleball courts (allowing guests to play no matter the weather), two bars, a sit-down restaurant, and multiple private event spaces. The combination of both the indoor and outdoor facilities makes SERV the perfect location for a fun day out with friends and family. As shipping container parks and large-scale modular developments become more popular, SERV has become a shining testament to how modular construction can quickly transform any property into an exciting space for the community with minimal development cost and a tremendous ROI opportunity. With the addition of our massive new Houston modular facility, we are excited to continue spearheading more container parks and larger-scale developments like SERV across the country.

Project Spotlight: Aspen Grove Center 20’ Container Bar (BeerCan Heavy)

Project Background

Aspen Grove Center, a popular outdoor mall outside Denver Colorado, approached ROXBOX with the goal of building a modular shipping container bar for their brand new beer garden. Enter the “BarBox”! Built out of a 20’ upcycled shipping container, this beautiful BeerCan Heavy serves as the centerpiece to Aspen Grove’s beer garden “The BarBox Garden” and is run by one of Colorado’s most iconic breweries, Breckenridge Brewery. With three service windows, a 10-tap draft system, and a walk-in cooler that can hold upwards of 20 kegs, the BarBox will be cranking out drinks all year long to beer garden guests. With a three-tone paint job, custom vinyl wrapping, and an Edison bulb-lit “BarBox” sign on top, the BarBox is truly a unique modular amenity to the complex that catches the attention of all patrons (and has become a popular feature on social media).

The mobile/temporary classified BarBox serves as a shining example of the benefits of choosing a ROXBOX product. With a faster turnaround time and cheaper price tag than a custom bar design, the BeerCan Heavy is one of our most popular shipping container bars and one of the fastest products we can build. With multiple revenue-generating windows and a built-in walk-in cooler, the modular BeerCan Heavy is designed to crank out drinks fast. Efficient, strong ROI, durable and eye-catching – this turnkey shipping container bar generates tons of revenue and is always the talk of the town.

With over an acre of grass and tons of parking, the beer garden is perfect for events, festivals, parties, concerts and hangouts with friends and family!

Timeline

Click here to review ROXBOX’s Four-Step Phase Process

Since the Aspen Grove team chose a standard, predesigned ROXBOX product (while also including add-ons that made the unit their own and match the Breckenridge Brewing aesthetic), we were able to move through all of re-construction Phase 1 (Design & Planning) + Phase 2 (Construction Documents) within weeks. Phase 3 (Construction & Production) of this BeerCan Heavy unit took just under 5 weeks. Since Aspen Grove Center is just down the road from ROXBOX’s facility in Denver, Phase 4 (Delivery and Installation) only took a few hours. Aspen Grove was then able to immediately open the beer garden that week and begin capturing revenue!

Client Testimonial

Josh Kalkhorst – General Manager at Gerrity Group

This journey with ROXBOX, from the day we met Davin at the shop to see the facility to the day our container bar was dropped, was really impressive. They helped us define our vision for this container and then brought it to life in ways we couldn’t have expected. Their excitement and enthusiasm for our project was next level and that’s what made this partnership and our experience so much fun!”

Project Spotlight: Coca-Cola Mobile BoomBox

Project Background

The Coca-Cola BoomBox was one of our coolest projects to date and we could not have been happier with how it turned out! The entire ROXBOX team came together to design & build this incredible shipping container marketing unit extremely fast without compromising our high-quality standards.

Coca-Cola approached us with a blank slate and told us to do what we do best, create an exciting and innovative mobile experiential marketing activation out of a 20’ shipping container that they could tour throughout the country. The only criteria we were given for this mobile container marketing unit were to make sure the project would have a focus on music & sustainability and offer guests an interactive experience. With this direction, the fun part began. After multiple brainstorming sessions with the ROXBOX team, we created a conceptual design for a solar-powered mobile boombox and presented it to the Coke team…

Enter the Coca-Cola BoomBox! This giant solar-powered boombox is built out of an upcycled 20′ shipping container and transforms into an interactive marketing experience at each location it stops. The underlying concept of the project focuses on bringing music to different communities and events, all while giving people the opportunity to learn how to DJ on high-end DJ equipment and highlighting the central Coca-Cola ethos of sustainability.

Key features of the BoomBox include: an interactive DJ experience where guests can learn to DJ, sound-activated LEDs, speakers that bump, a VIP rooftop deck, interchangeable graphics for different Coca-Cola brands and marketing initiatives, and the ability to easily open up and close down at each event (this unit is a true transformer)!

The BoomBox brings the party and is the focal point wherever it goes… And since it’s fully solar-powered, it can go anywhere!

Specs & Modifications

  • 20′ One-trip shipping container
  • Roof-top deck with collapsible railings
  • Custom 3D boom box elements: speakers, light-up equalizer, buttons, and a custom vinyl wrap
  • Sound-activated LED lights
  • Interactive DJ experience with DJ booth and high-end DJ equipment
  • Numerous speakers and subs
  • “Selfie room” with custom neon signs & green walls
  • Interchangeable SEG graphics allow for different brands to “skin”/brand the unit
  • Custom stairs and flooring
  • Lighting, electrical, solar, and actuator systems – all with redundancies
  • Interior and exterior black paint
  • Removable railings, stairs, and walls
  • Mechanical room w/ employee door
  • (2) Awnings on actuators with solar-panels
  • (2) fold-down decks
  • 100% solar-powered with six (6) solar panels
  • (3) massive batteries (the unit can run for an entire day on a full charge without the sun)
  • Custom trailer that makes the unit easily moveable

Location

Fortunately, the first couple stops for the BoomBox were right in our backyard for some incredible concerts at one of the world’s most iconic music venues – Red Rocks Park & Amphitheatre.

Currently, the BoomBox can be found traveling the country on the Coca-Cola BoomBox Tour, where it will stop at events, concerts, festivals, parties, and sporting events along the way. The BoomBox’s first tour will be a full west coast tour, making appearances in Denver, Salt Lake City, Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Phoenix. Be sure to check out the hashtag #cocacolaboomb
