Ever wonder why we have a huge scale in the Spot Cafe? Story time! The building that is now Hula used to be the Blodgett Oven factory. There’s a lot of really cool history within the Blodgett story. Gardner S. Blodgett, the founder of Blodgett Ovens was an entrepreneur himself. Starting as a small family operation, the company was officially up and running in 1854. Today, Blodgett is the leading manufacturer of commercial ovens in the world. It’s a success story of huge proportions, and we think it’s pretty serendipitous that modern day entrepreneurs work out of a building that holds a rich history of small business success. Since Hula’s inception, the goal has and always will be to uplift and accelerate small businesses in Vermont. Since opening, we've welcomed thousands of members and office tenants, celebrated businesses outgrowing our space, and watched individuals reach their first big milestones. We get to watch the vision come to life every day in big and small ways, and we're happy to have you along for the ride!

2moI have fond memories of working in the International Marketing Department of Blodgert Ovens in 1987. Last week I was in Hula and the transformation into a modern space is amazing. That location is very special and now accessible to so many. Well done!
