Harmons downtown Salt Lake store opens to steady crowd

The new Harmons grocery opened in downtown Salt Lake City this morning to a mix of the curious and those who were taking advantage of the convenience of having a big store nearby.

The store, just off the eastern edge of the giant office-residential-retail project, is the state’s first large grocery store in a downtown business district. At 100 S 135 E was built on two levels. A 50,000-square-foot ground level features a large produce department and meat counter with fresh fish. On the 18,000-square-foot mezzanine there is a deli with a seating capacity for about 300 customers. Salt Lake Tribune
