Jacqueline Whitmore of Copperhive Vintage said it was a surprise to hear her shop would be demolished — and the building’s owner said she was surprised, too.

When Whitmore spoke with the owner, the conversation was “awkward, to say the least,” Whitmore said.

Copperhive Vintage has a new home now, at 2709 S. State St. in South Salt Lake, and it’s filled with Whitmore’s trademark variety of vintage clothing, furniture and kitschy “odds and ends” from the 1940s through the 1970s that she and her husband source themselves.Since the move, she said, the business has been experiencing a bit of a slump, something she’s seen happen to other businesses in the city.

Katoa was able to find a new location for Haight & Ashbury Home in Salt Lake City’s Ballpark neighborhood, but the building needed a complete renovation, she said. Remodeling plus moving 10,000 square feet worth of merchandise “was very difficult,” but she said business has been “OK.” The arrangement wasn’t sustainable, though. “There was almost no other option than to either sell it or do something,” she said.

Gallacher said things could have turned out differently if she had received a loan and did a lot of repairs. But then she probably would have had to raise the rent., as of July 6, the only owner listed for the Kings parcels at 2219 S. 700 East and 2225-2233 S. 700 East, plus the plot of land directly east on Lake Street, is Lotus Sugarhouse Homes LLC.

The project doesn’t have a name yet, Torman said, but Lotus plans to come up with a name that honors the legacy of Gallacher’s family.Not just stuff
