How the LDS Church has turned its garments factory into an empire
The church has turned a garment factory in Salt Lake City into an $800 million corporation.
The Mormon church’s garment factory, located on the outskirts of Salt Lake, has been called the “world’s largest manufacturer of garment and accessories” and has made billions of dollars in sales for the church over the years.
But the church says it is only one of a number of businesses around the world that manufacture garments and accessories for the organization.
According to the church, its manufacturing plant is the largest of its kind in the world, and is “one of the few remaining manufacturing plants in the United States.”
The LDS Church began making garments in the 1880s, but its operations have grown steadily since then.
The church says that in addition to clothing, the plant makes accessories for its temples, missions, missions houses, and its own church schools.
The church has also used its manufacturing facility for the production of garments for its schools.
It has been known to purchase clothing at discount prices, but the church has never publicly disclosed the prices.
The LDS church does not release sales figures, but last year the church said that clothing sales totaled $1.9 billion.
The LDS church also announced that its apparel division made a profit of $1 billion in the year ending in May.
“Our mission is to live in harmony with God, our neighbors, and the environment,” the church’s statement said.
“As we continue to build and develop our mission and brand, we are increasingly focusing on how we can build a global organization that embraces the earth and its resources and works to create a more equitable world.”
The church said the company employs 3,000 people in the U.S. and Canada.
