Sugar House Transfer was founded in 1907, it started out with one truck that hauled baggage to and from the Denver Rio Grand Western train depot in Salt Lake City, Utah. James and Norma Greensides later specialized in local and long distance moving and in the 1940s added storage to their services.

In the early 1960s they started offering business records management, and in the late 1980s they added document destruction services. After more than 65 years of successful operation, James and Norma Greensides’ son, David, became President and CEO. Through the years David has carried on the legacy of the Sugar House name. With the large growth of the moving and records storage divisions, David and his brother found it prudent to separate the businesses. In the beginning of 2009 Sugar House Archives & Shred LLC became its own entity, allowing David to focus all of his time on serving record storage customers.

After David became the sole owner of Sugar House Archives & Shred, he continued expanding services in the Salt Lake City area, including diversifying the business, which today includes:

A document management division know as Sugar House Archives & Shred.

A document shredding division know as Sugar House Archives & Shred.

A document shredding division know as Utah Shred.

A media storage and rotation division know as Sugar House Archives & Shred.

A scanning & imaging division known as Salt Lake City Document Scanning.

A self storage division known as AAA Sugar House Storage.

A portable storage division known as PortaBox Storage.

A portable storage division known as Utah Mobile Storage.

A moving box rental division known as Utah Box Rental.

To help with the company’s growing needs, David’s three sons, Jon, Jason, and Jeff, became part of the team of professionals, carrying on James and Norma Greensides’ tradition of service excellence.
