Sugar Factory Playhouse
West Jordan, Utah
After the city bowery was demolished to make way for a new fire station, West Jordan Theater Arts opened the 230-seat Sugar Factory Playhouse in the city's old sugar factory. Inspired by Trolley Square, the West Jordan City Council planned to renovate the sugar factory and turn it into a cultural arts center with a larger auditorium, amphitheater, art gallery, conference center, reception hall, and retail center. Expensive seismic upgrades eventually doomed the project and the sugar factory was demolished by the end of 2010.

Times Independent, 3 March 1955, page 1
The Grand Vu Drive-In changed hands recently with Mr. and Mrs. Howard Lance selling to Clair (Kayo) and Dick Swenson of Salt Lake City.
The new owners, pictured above, are installing a larger (40' x 90') screen for the latest wideview and cinemascope productions. The opening show of the new season is planned for Mar. 10 and will feature a recent Hollywood release. Also additional speakers are being installed to take care of the expected increase in attendance.
