Harmons is starting construction on the state’s first large urban grocery store, on the eastern edge of the giant City Creek revitalization project in downtown Salt Lake City.
As the first full-service grocery in the central business district, The City Creek Harmons at 135 E. 100 South is set for completion in fall 2011.
Unlike its other stores, parking will be atop the new structure, similar to urban markets in San Francisco and Los Angeles, said Harmon. Shoppers will be given validations for free parking on two upper levels.Hours will be the same as the chain’s 13 other locations, 6 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week.
The City Creek store will be about 40 percent smaller than Harmons’ other upscale supermarkets. The 43,000-square-foot grocery will be built on two levels — with separate entrances on Social Hall Avenue and around the corner, on 100 South. The ground floor, accessed on 100 South, will open into a floral department and feature local foods, a deli, gourmet cheese island, salad and olive bars, meat counter and pharmacy.
