As its name implies, From The Ground Up is a truly a grass-roots, community gathering place in one of the most historic areas of downtown Salt Lake City. From The Ground Up is a rock shop owned by serial entrepreneur Kathie Chadbourne. Once home to dozens of local shops, including Auerbachs, the Broadway District was and still is the best place for local holiday shopping. Chadbourne’s business is a bright light on the dismal gentrification of historic Broadway in downtown SLC. Just a block from Chadbourne is a highrise tower. Nearly 30 stories have replaced five former businesses on the block, including the Tavernacle, Especially For You Flowers, and the People’s Coffee.
