SHIVWITS BAND OF PAIUTES
Shivwits Band Corporation
Operating since 2014, the Shivwits Convenience Store is organized under the Shivwits Band Limited Liability Code. The Shivwits Convenience Store has been performing very well under the management of new Store Manager, Tina Gonzales, and the SBC Board of Directors. Fuel sales have increased 912.71 percent since January this year, and the 2021 annual sales are already 2.92 times higher than any previous year with two months of the year remaining. The overall profitability of the store, wherein several Shivwits Band members are employed, is also higher than ever before. Store employees are working on inventory management, pricing adjustments to achieve targeted profit margins, and providing exceptional customer service.
The Shivwits Band Council and Shivwits Band Corporation Board of Directors have cooperated with the Utah Youth Soccer Association (UYSA) to develop a four or five-field sports complex. UYSA has an agreement to use the sports complex during specific times. The Shivwits Band, Band Council, and SBC Board will be able to use the complex during all times not set apart for UYSA soccer events to generate further revenue from hosting additional sporting and other types of events. Expected to be done in the summer of 2022, there will be a grand opening event when the complex is complete. UYSA will have events at the facility five days a week during the soccer seasons and projects that the facility will bring 100,000 people to the Reservation each year, resulting in a great increase of Convenience Store profitability.
