Sports & entertainment

Utah Jazz
Main article: Utah Jazz

The Miller family started construction on the Delta Center, which would later become the Vivint Arena, in 1990. It was completed in 1991. The arena has been an economic boon for downtown Salt Lake City. It has attracted large amounts of foot traffic and numerous businesses have been established nearby.[6]

Gail Miller assumed ownership upon her husband's death. In 2017, she transferred ownership of the Jazz and Vivint Arena into a trust to keep the franchise in Utah for generations.[7] The Millers are often credited with saving the team and keeping it in Utah when the franchise was experiencing financial problems in the 1980s.[8][9][10]

In 2017, the Miller family spent $125 million renovating the Vivint Arena.[6]

In 2019, a fan verbally abused NBA player Russell Westbrook. Miller later addressed the home crowd to speak out against the boorish behavior and proclaimed, "This should never happen. We are not a racist community."[11]

In 2020, Jazz player Rudy Gobert donated $200,000 to team employees who were furloughed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Miller announced that the LHM Group would "more than match" this number.[2]

In October 2020, the Miller family agreed to sell the Jazz and Vivint Arena to Ryan Smith, founder of Qualtrics, for $1.66 billion. This price is about 70 times what the Miller family originally paid. Smith had a long-standing interest in the team. He even sponsored a jersey patch that raised $25 million for charity. Smith made proposals to the Miller family on several occasions before finally reaching acceptable terms. Terms of the deal require the team to remain in Utah and the Miller family will retain a minority interest. The Salt Lake City Stars of the NBA G League and management of the Salt Lake Bees minor league baseball team were also part of the deal.[8][9][10] The Miller family said they planned to use the profits from this sale to diversify their businesses and engage in more extensive philanthropy. The Millers rejected previous offers to buy the Jazz.[12]

In the summer of 2022, the Miller family announced that it was selling a portion of its remaining interest in the Utah Jazz. The transaction placed a value of $2.25 billion on the Jazz. The transaction was the result of an agreement made when the Millers sold their majority interest in the team.[13]

Big League Utah

In early 2023, Miller, her family, and the LHM Company started an effort to bring a Major League Baseball (MLB) team to Salt Lake City. This has been called the "Big League Utah" campaign. A "shovel ready" site in the Rocky Mountain Power District in west Salt Lake City has been identified to build a stadium. This site was selected because of its position between the airport and downtown.[14]

Miller's late husband, who died in 2009, spent a whole chapter of his autobiography on his love of ballparks, baseball, and softball. Miller described her efforts to bring MLB to Utah as extremely important to her and to her family.[15]

Salt Lake City Stars
Main article: Salt Lake City Stars

The Salt Lake City Stars are a semi-professional basketball team in the NBA G League based in West Valley City, Utah, and are affiliated with the Utah Jazz. The Stars play their home games at the Maverik Center. The team was originally known as the Stampede. It was founded as a member of the Continental Basketball Association in 1997 and was league runner-up in the 2003–04 season, losing to the Dakota Wizards. After the 2005–06 season, the Stampede announced that the team would be joining the NBA Development League. From 2005 to 2015, the team played as the Idaho Stampede at the CenturyLink Arena in Boise. Before then, they played home games at the Ford Idaho Center in Nampa. The Stampede's sole NBA affiliate is the Utah Jazz, with whom they originally had a hybrid partnership. However, on March 24, 2015, the Utah Jazz and the Idaho Stampede announced that the Jazz had purchased the Stampede, becoming the 8th NBA team to become owners of their D-League affiliate.[16] They also had past affiliations with the Denver Nuggets, Seattle SuperSonics, Toronto Raptors and most recently the Portland Trail Blazers, with the Jazz taking sole affiliation after the 2013–2014 season.[17]

Salt Lake Bees
Main article: Salt Lake Bees

This franchise dates from 1994, when Joe Buzas, a former major league player and the owner of the PCL Portland Beavers, moved the team to Salt Lake City. Buzas made a deal wherein the city would build a new ballpark on the site of historic Derks Field in exchange for relocating the team. The new ballpark, Franklin Quest Field, opened in 1994 with the renamed Salt Lake Buzz drawing 713,224 fans to home games during their inaugural season—breaking the PCL single-season attendance record that had stood for 48 years.[18] Buzas owned the team until his death in 2003. The team was purchased by Larry H. Miller, who also owned the NBA's Utah Jazz. Miller died in February 2009, and the team is owned by his widow, Gail Miller. Known as the Salt Lake Buzz from 1994 to 2000, the team changed its name to the Salt Lake Stingers in 2001. The change was forced by a trademark dilution lawsuit filed by Georgia Tech, whose yellowjacket mascot is named Buzz.[19]

Megaplex Theatres
Main article: Megaplex Theatres

The first location anchored the newly built Jordan Commons restaurant and entertainment complex in Sandy when it opened on November 1, 1999 with 20 screens. The theater was built on the former site of Jordan High School. Since its opening, the Sandy location has grown to be one of the highest-grossing theaters locally while also ranking among the top theaters nationwide on some films.[20]

The LHM Company expanded its healthcare business into skilled nursing, assisted living, home health, and hospice care and has formed LHM Senior Health.[25]

In January 2021, the LHM Group announced its purchase of Advanced Health Care (AHC), a chain of high-end nursing homes and hospices that also provides in-home health care. AHC patients are generally transitioning from in-hospital acute care to living at home. The purchase price was undisclosed. The LHM Group said the acquisition was part of a broader effort to diversify their portfolio of businesses. AHC was founded in Idaho in 2001 and runs 22 facilities, including six in Utah. The other facilities are in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Nevada, and New Mexico. AHC was founded roughly 20 years before its acquisition by LHM Group. The deal was finalized after two years of negotiations. This was LHM Group's first acquisition in health care.[6][26] The Larry H. Miller Company took over tasks such as accounting, real-estate management, and future redevelopment so that AHC can focus on its core competencies.[27] AHC was founded by Lehi-native Brett Nattress, a general authority for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.[26]

The facility formerly known as the Harmony Hills Assisted Living Center in Lehi, Utah was purchased by AHC in 2022. As of early 2023, the facility was undergoing renovations and re-opened in May 2023. The renovation includes a large salt-water fish tank, a new gym, a new hair salon, and a new library. The facility was renamed the Aspen Ridge Residences. It will be AHC's first assisted living center. Studio and one-bedroom apartments will be on offer.[26] The Aspen Ridge Residences were open as of 21 June 2023.[28]

Recyclops operates on a subscription model. Recyclops was founded in 2014. As of 2022, it operated in 18 states.[32]

In mid-2022, Recylops expanded service in Kentucky to Bowling Green and Warren County.[33]

The Millers acquired and renamed a Toyota dealership in 1979.[34] Miller and her husband built a successful chain of car dealerships. These dealerships produced estimated sales of about $5.4 billion in 2019.[2][3]

In September 2021, Asbury Automotive announced that it was purchasing LHM Group's car dealerships for about $3.2 billion. This price included $740 million for real estate.[35] The dealerships will retain the LHM branding.[36] Corwin Auto Group of North Dakota purchased LHM Liberty Toyota and the LHM Toyota dealership in Boulder, Colorado.[37]

While under the ownership of the Miller family, their car dealerships started an annual food drive to benefit local food banks.[38]

Family and personal life

Miller was born in Sandy, Utah, on October 14, 1943.[68]

Miller is descended from pioneers who were among the first whites to settle in Utah. One of Miller's great-great grandfathers was Johan Otte. Otte was born in Prussia in 1843. He met his wife, Ane Sorensdatter, in Denmark. Ane died giving birth to Ane Maria. Ane Marie was taken in by close friends of the couple due to Otte's grief. These friends had recently joined the LDS Church and took Ane Maria with them to Utah. Otte went on to have seven more children with a later wife. One of those children was Hans Frederick Otte, Miller's grandfather. Johan Otte converted to Mormonism in Denmark and moved to Utah in 1898. He died later that year but only after being first re-united with his daughter and the friends who had taken her in as their own.[69]

She and Larry Miller, whom she married on March 25, 1965 and is deceased, are the parents of five children.[68] Miller married her second husband, Salt Lake City attorney Kim Wilson in 2012. Miller is a member of the LDS Church.[2]
