SUGAR HOUSE, SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Nationwide grocery store chain Trader Joe’s is opening its fifth Northern Utah market, this time in the Sugar House suburb of Salt Lake City, making it the closest one yet to Park City.
The popular store, which will sell more than merely food items, is located at the intersection of 2100 S and 700 E in a free-standing building that was previously occupied by an auto parts retailer.
While one of the existing Trader Joe’s locations on 634 E and 400 S may have been geographically closer to Park City for the last eight years, this newest one is a logistically quicker drive.

I've lived in Park City for 30 years but right off the starting line, my journalism professors expressed plaudits after class for writing more so about the small-town sports in the surrounding mountains than the urban updates they assigned. Therefore, I’m on par punning and penning Parkites' pastimes. Turning high and early through my career, I’ve worked communications for The Olympics, the Paralympics and the Special Olympics. Additionally, there's been National Geographic, Patagonia, NCAA, USA Nordic and the United States Library of Congress, so I guess you could say this ain't my first rodeo.
