Union offers a unique lifestyle in a beautiful setting.
We encourage those who are interested in setting up a business to come to Union
and see for yourself. After the arrival of our windmill project and the
development of the Buffalo Peak Golf Course, we are seeing more traffic through
town every day. It's the perfect time for anyone with the desire to open a
retail shop, restaurant or bed & breakfast to take action. We are finding
that there is a huge draw for antiques and resale shops. People from 3
counties come regularly to shop in the 2 shops we have now - imagine the draw if
a few more enterprising individuals decided to set up shop!
Business Opportunities:
- Historic Downtown Union:
- The historic buildings in Union are a source
of great pride for us. They have endured since the time of the Civil
War. Some are in great shape, others need work and a few are in the
process of being lovingly renovated. Many of the buildings are on the
National Historic Registry. Two of the registered buildings are for
sale - The Union Tavern building and the D&D Restaurant. There aren't
many places left in the United States where you can get commercial
property for the square-foot price of these buildings. When you add
that to the potential for Union to become a tourism hot-spot in Union County
- well, you do the math. If you aren't in the market to buy, there are
also a few commercial spaces for rent. Need help finding what you
want? Send us an e-mail and we will get you help to navigate the local
process.

The Union Tavern. At one time, this building had
skating and dancing in the huge upstairs room. Currently,
it has been gutted in preparation for remodeling. The
person who restores this essential piece of Union history will
need some funding to remodel. There has been some thought
about putting a micro-brewery on this site - which would be a
great use for the property and a tremendous draw to bring people
into downtown Union. The property is being handled by Valley
Realty in Island City. 541-963-4174. |

This elegant old building has been a restaurant for many
years. There is an apartment upstairs where the owners
live, or that can be rented out for a little extra income.
There is a bar in the rear of the restaurant and a separate
entrance for lounge patrons. Sadly, it is currently
unoccupied, leaving Union with very few dining choices. It
is being handled by NE Oregon Economic Development. They
are asking $149,000 - a great price for a piece of Union history
and an opportunity to make a living in a beautiful, friendly
community. |

The Hut is the place where the locals go to hang
out together. It is not an historic
building, but it's a very well-known part of Union. During the Eastern
Oregon Livestock Show, the owners set up a beer garden and
served a full house from six in the morning until 2AM.
There is a bar in the back with a separate entrance for lounge
patrons. There are currently renters who are operating the
business, so the doors are still open. The building is
being sold as part of an estate and they are asking $150,000.
You can contact any Union County realtor for more information
about this business. |

Crafty Ways is an historic building that has been many
things over the years. Most recently it was the home of
our local on-line newspaper and a place where you could get some
help with your computer, pick up some office or art supplies and
get copies made. They did some work with scrapbooking and
the owner, Scott Morrison made incredible wood pieces.
They are asking $99,999 and the property is being handled by
Century 21 Eagle Cap Realty in La Grande - 541-963-0511. |

The Boulder Market is bigger than your normal C-store but smaller
than a grocery store. It sits on a full acre and has it's own
paved parking lot. They sell gas and have a small restaurant,
Jailhouse Pizza which serves u-bake and baked pizza plus the best sub
sandwiches in town. The current owner has had it for over 10 years
and it is a thriving business. It is handled through Landman
Properties in Vancouver, WA. Asking price is $395,000 plus inventory.
For more information call 541-910-0189. |

Union's hope for the future is it's 30 acre Industrial
Site. 30 years ago, this was the home of Union's lumber mill.
It has been cleaned up and has had two DEQ inspections, including a
Brownfield Study in 2003. It is part of the rural enterprise zone,
which offers benefits and assistance to any company that develops a
business on this site and creates jobs for local residents. The
current owner will sell one acre or all 30 and is asking $10,000 per
acre. Interested parties can call Union's City Administrator at
541-562-5197 for more information on the site and local building
requirements.
Where else can you have a business and be neighbors with the
mountains and the local mule deer herd? |
