Two family-run Summit County businesses that burned to the ground a year ago are back. Frontier Woodworks and The Farmhouse at Spring Hollow held a two-day grand reopening Friday and Saturday, July 24 and 25, on Spring Hollow Road in Francis.
The reopening falls on the one-year anniversary of the July 24, 2025, fire that destroyed both shops. Firefighters from South Summit, Park City and Wasatch County responded around 9:30 a.m. that morning and extinguished the blaze in about 90 minutes. No one was injured.
Dusty Hatch, who owns Frontier Woodworks, has been building things since high school. The shop specializes in custom doors, architectural millwork and high-end carpentry. The Farmhouse at Spring Hollow, a neighboring floral and gift business, shares the property.
Hatch and his wife, Raychel, were on vacation in Idaho with no cell service when the fire broke out. Both phones erupted with missed calls once they got back in range.
Rather than shut down, Frontier Woodworks kept filling orders. Employees worked from a large tent erected on the property while a new building went up around them. Production slowed because much of the equipment had been destroyed, but the mild 2025–2026 winter made the open-air arrangement more bearable.
The community rallied quickly after the fire. A fundraising campaign raised more than $16,000 in its first day to help replace tools and cover temporary expenses, TownLift reported in July 2025. The final total was not publicly disclosed.
For Hatch, rebuilding was about more than the physical shop. He told KSL he considers his employees family and wanted to protect their jobs through the recovery.
Both businesses are now open at their rebuilt location on Spring Hollow Road in Francis.
