Tiny Homes Mean Big Business in La Junta, Colorado
La Junta, Colorado (PRWEB) April 02, 2014 -- In February, Sprout Tiny Homes, LLC selected La Junta, Colorado for its manufacturing headquarters. The startup company exhibited its first production tiny home at the Denver Home Show on March 14th – 16th. The company manufactures high quality tiny homes to address the rapidly growing tiny home movement whereby consumers are giving up their McMansions in favor of tiny homes that maximize space, have the latest in high tech and eco-friendly amenities with very low utility costs. Consumers are buying tiny homes for a variety of use cases including their primary residence, a guest house, rental property, vacation home, an in-law unit and some are even configuring them as a retail store. The homes range from 18 to 24 feet with plans to deliver to customers in CO, KS, NE, WY and TX through strategic partners such as JAX Mercantile, Big R Ranch Supply, and is in discussion with Bass Pro Shops. The Company is even offering the buyer to participate in the build if they choose to do so. The homes take about 2 – 3 weeks to manufacture and can be towed to the home site behind a ½ ton pickup or larger. Ryan Stevens, the Director of La Junta Economic Development, commented “we are thrilled to see Sprout Tiny Homes select La Junta as their headquarters. This company will help to diversify our manufacturing base and it brings an exciting new business to La Junta and the rest of the Arkansas Valley. It will be exciting to see their business grow.” Mayor Lynn Horner added, “In these changing economic times, we are blessed to have a company choose to set up their manufacturing operations in La Junta. Sprout Tiny Homes will soon know what many of our growing manufacturers already know, La Junta is a great place to do business.”
Sprout Tiny Homes plans to hire up to twelve employees with hopes to expand by the end of the year. The company will be looking for employees with general to advanced construction skills (framing, plumbing, and electrical skills).
