The Hawthorne Group is a Kansas City-based advisory firm committed to creating innovative strategies. We provide solutions for the startup and existing business community by using shipping containers to implement low-risk, cost efficient alternatives to brick-and-mortar structures. THG is dedicated to creating transformative modular concepts.
We offer a variety of design options for retail, food service, medical and grocery. Shipping containers are an attractive choice to reduce a business’s overall square footage while providing the same quality service. They essentially “right-size” the brick-and-mortar footprint. Containers are constructed with a high-grade steel exterior that provide a flexible option as a building material. This makes containers perfect to be converted as retail spaces.
Customization is key. Units can be stacked, joined and combined to create numerous designs and fit just about any retail need. The retail landscape is evolving and adopting a modern approach. An approach that embraces versatility while implementing a cost-efficient business model. We have the expertise to scale your projects and design container parks that can serve as outdoor entertainment districts and shopping destinations.
