Tooele County needs a place to work and gather. So we're building one.
Sunshine & Lupine Co. will be a coworking and event space right here in the county. Desks you can rent by the hour, rooms you can book for a class or a party, and business classes taught by people who live here. Right now we are finding out who wants it.
No payment, no commitment. Founding members get first-year rates locked in.
There is nowhere to put a business here.
Our jobs and our buildings never kept up with our people. So most of us who work remotely do it from the kitchen table, or drive to Salt Lake, or pay too much for the little that exists. And when the internet drops, everyone is scrambling for somewhere that isn't a coffee shop or the library.

One space, a lot of uses.
Desks and offices
By the hour, the day, or the month, without the drive to Salt Lake.
A room to book
For a meeting, a class, a training, a shower, or a party.
Business classes
Practical, affordable, taught by people who actually run businesses here.
Shelf space for makers
Somewhere for local makers to sell where local buyers can find them.
A business address
A real Tooele County address and mail service, so you never publish your home.
Self-serve scanning
Book time on document, photo, and book scanners. Nothing like it exists here.
I'm Shaely.
I'm an accountant, and I have spent years trying to work out why it is so hard to run a business in Tooele County. Most of it comes down to there being nowhere to put one.
My own practice gave up its office, so I meet clients at their kitchen tables and in coffee shops. There is nowhere here to rent a desk or a quiet room to sit down with someone. That is the problem I want to fix.
Happening first
Country dance nights, this fall.
It is what people asked for first when I surveyed them, and it is the same problem as everything else. If there is nowhere to go, people drive out of the county for it. Every night opens with a 30-minute beginner lesson, so nobody has to already know how. Alcohol-free, 16 and up, with family nights too.
Be one of the first.
