Growth and expansion is an exciting time for any business. Building and opening new stores is especially thrilling for Harmons because we get to continue the dream Jake and Irene started with their original fruit stand back in 1932. The addition of our three newest stores will take us into new locations, provide exciting new store concepts, create hundreds of job opportunities and allow us to share our great products and services with new customers.
Harmons is very excited about the future of Station Park, Harmons Emigration Market, and City Creek. Station Park opened on May 2nd with Emigration Market opening on September 14th and City Creek in Spring 2012. We will keep you updated on the progress of each project up through opening day. Check back often for construction progress of City Creek. Harmons also has plans to build a store in Santa Clara in Southern Utah, although an anticipated completion date has not yet been determined.
While it seems that new stores get all the attention, we haven't forgotten about the wonderful stores that have been in operation for years. Our West Valley, Cougar, Brickyard, Roy and Orem stores have recently been completely remodeled. Many other stores have added Housewares departments or fresh food areas such as cheese islands, salad bars, carving stations and artisan bread within the past couple years. Since the opening of Bangerter Crossing in Spring 2008, every store has undergone either an upgrade of departments, the addition of departments or services or a complete remodel.
