ZCMI Co-Op Building
Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County · Utah
Sugar House had a cooperative store two years before ZCMI existed. The neighborhood's first shop opened in 1866, Brigham Young organized Zion's Cooperative Mercantile Institution in 1868, and about 150 branch co-ops followed across the territory. ZCMI arrived here in 1932, opening the Granite Mart in the former Granite Hardware space to clear stock from the branches it was shutting through the Depression. The state recorded a marker at this address in 1995, a black plastic sign with white letters. No photograph of it has surfaced since, and this block of 2100 South was rebuilt in 2024.
