Here are the four major openings to watch in Utah this month.
1. La Sportiva
A mountain gear giant plants a flag in Salt Lake City.
In a major win for the state’s outdoor industry, La Sportiva is officially opening its new retail hub in Salt Lake City this February. This 5,100-square-foot location marks a significant investment by the Italian brand in the North American market.
- The Location: The store is located at 368 West 600 South, situated near the USA Climbing Training Center in the growing Granary District.
- The Vibe: This is more than a shoe store; it’s a community hub featuring the brand’s full lineup of climbing, skiing, and trail-running gear. Uniquely, it will also house the “ReSoul Lab,” a dedicated center for resoling and repairing climbing shoes to extend their lifespan.
2. Brownstone 22
The former Martine space gets a seafood revival.
Salt Lake City’s dining scene is buzzing about the opening of Brownstone 22, which is breathing new life into the historic brownstone building that famously housed Martine for decades. Targeting an early February launch, this concept comes from the team behind the popular Felt Bar & Eatery.
- The Concept: The venue is pivoting to a high-end “East Coast oyster bar” vibe.
- The Menu: Expect seafood towers, caviar service, and house-made pastas. It aims to fill the gap for a premium seafood-centric destination in the downtown core, offering a “martini and oysters” experience in one of the city’s most beautiful historic structures.
