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.

The Eastern Utah Realty company has begun work on the north side of the Main street on a one-story brick building, thirty feet frontage by ninety feet in depth, that is to be occupied when completed by the Isis theater. The theater people are to have, they say, about the very finest thing in this part of the country when they become established in the new place.
