Industry Leading Shed And Garage Builder Returns To Tucson

The building that houses the TUFF SHED factory is brand new. However, the opening of this facility actually represents a return to Tucson for Denver-based TUFF SHED. The company first began servicing the Tucson market in October 1985. During which TUFF SHED opened only its second (Salt Lake City was the first) factory.

The Tucson market turned out to be a successful venture for TUFF SHED. With this factory becoming the company’s first location to exceed $1 Million in sales in a single year during 1987. Shortly thereafter, in May of 1988, TUFF SHED founder Tom Saurey struck an agreement with a business associate to leave the Tucson market. Under that agreement, the Tucson facility remained in operation and used the name of TUFF SHED in the Tucson area.
