At The Shop Workspace, we believe that success doesn’t happen in isolation, it grows from the right environment, the right support, and the right community. We are thrilled to announce our Grow Here campaign, highlighting the incredible companies that started small with Salt Lake City office space within our walls and scaled into something greater. These aren’t just stories of expansion, they’re stories of momentum, possibility, and the power of place.
Our first spotlight? LearnUpon, an award-winning LMS platform that selected Salt Lake City as its base for U.S. operations. When they landed in Utah, they also landed at The Shop, and the rest is history.
From One Office to a Team of 20+
When LearnUpon expanded to Utah, their goals were clear: establish a strong presence, build a talented team, and immerse themselves in a vibrant tech and business community. They started humbly, with just one office and a team of three, but they didn’t stay small for long.
The Shop was designed for moments like this. With flexible lease terms, fully furnished offices, and a built-in ecosystem of like-minded professionals, we made it easy for LearnUpon to hit the ground running, no downtime, no red tape, and no costly buildouts.
As their momentum grew, so did their footprint. Over the course of a year, LearnUpon expanded into four private offices, scaling to a team of over 20 employees. Whether they were hosting client meetings, conducting interviews, onboarding new hires, or throwing a happy hour, The Shop provided the physical space and cultural environment to support every step of their journey.
Why They Chose The Shop
LearnUpon didn’t just find office space, they found a strategic growth partner. Here’s what made The Shop the ideal launchpad for their U.S. expansion:
- Move-In Ready Offices
No need for construction delays or design headaches. Our plug-and-play offices allowed LearnUpon to get to work immediately. - Flexible Growth
As their team grew, they were able to expand into additional spaces without the burden of long-term lease commitments or complex negotiations. - Vibrant Community
LearnUpon didn’t just rent offices, they joined a network. From weekly wellness events and rooftop socials to casual coffee chats and industry panels, The Shop’s community helped their team stay energized, connected, and inspired. - Prime Location
Being in the heart of Salt Lake City gave their team access to talent, transit, and culture—all just steps from their door.
What’s Next?
Today, LearnUpon has graduated from The Shop and moved into a larger space that fits their growing team and evolving needs. While we’re sad to see them go, we’re incredibly proud to have played a part in their story. Their journey is exactly why we do what we do.
At The Shop, it’s never just about the office, it’s about the opportunity. Whether you’re a solo founder, a scaling startup, or an established team entering a new market, we’re here to help you Grow Here.
