Sorry its Loge Camp Resort

Sweet! Hope you're enjoying it

yes it will be near the airport. really cool addition to the area

@@LukeLamoreaux-eg7cy Very exciting news!

Within 2 years, they also have to find a warehouse due to Store foot print and remote location.

Rumor is that with Whole Foods on its way, Trader Joe’s is likely out for the foreseeable future.

I know the daughter of the family who builds *******. and they didn't know their daughter heard them talking and she said they were asked by trader joes to build their ******* for their planned store in southern utah. who knows she could be lying.

where is whole foods going?

@@longacre1041 I heard Sprouts

Hobby Lobby is going into K-Mart, REI is going into the Habitat for Humanity place.

yes. it is going by rampage ebike rentals by the river crossing development. they have a Instagram page for it and everything

yes in this development actually (you didn't hear it from me ok?)

@@LukeLamoreaux-eg7cy awesome! Thanks!

​@@LukeLamoreaux-eg7cyWhat's "this development"?

the kmart development (st. george place is what their calling it)

Do we - need - another Chicken place? Ugh.

Yes

There are more soda shops in St. George than churches

@@GwPoKo No kidding!

It went from K Mart to “Big-K Mart” Then Big-K to BK and it stopped there: Bankrupt or “BK” Now you know!!

Hobby Lobby is what I heard

Fingers crossed for Winco!

No real plans of a Cheesecake yet but i think Winco is a good possibility. I'll post if it happens!

look at the washington city minutes. they approved it by the new exit a while back. (winco not cheesecake factory) cheesecake factory would be cool but they require a metro of 250,000-300,000. we have 210,000 so maybe someday. they could also make an exception since we are so close to mesquite and cedar city and count them in our metro. so idk maybe someday we'll get one.

Hobby Lobby is going into the K-Mark, REI is going into the Habitat for Humanity place.

I wonder what other stores will be placed there. There's so much potential in that area that's just going to waste.

raising canes is going there. heard from 2 reliable sources that don't know I know though...

The studio hasnt started yet

yes washington city approved it by boilers park a couple months ago.

hopefully. I'm pretty sure they are building a 7 story hotel diagonal from iceberg. also the apartments behind ancestor square he talked about will hopefully be at least 8 stories and look super cool

but i hope our downtown gets at least 5-8 tall buildings (under 12 stores) but no actual skyscrapers. I also wouldn't mind buildings like the ones you see in Lehi and Draper

​@@LukeLamoreaux-eg7cyNah, tallest it'll be is 4-5 stories. Seems projects downtown is all talk and takes years to materialize if anything at all. Like what happened to the proposed 4-5 story mixed use apartment building planned to go behind Smith's and Walgreens years ago??

@@tylerhaynes8546 you are not wrong. but they are supposedly supposed to start on that project next year. the real reason we can't have super tall buildings is they require some basement levels and st. george can't dig down because of aquifers. thats why there are 2 parking garages downtown with 1 being built

Not yet but hopefully soon!

St George will REALLY be on the map if we get a Trader Joe’s!!!!!!!! I may come out of retirement just to work there lol

you definitely should. there are about 210,000 people in the metropolitan area and 109,000 in St. George itself. in fact we could use many more business. also we'd love to have you. don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

100% agree with Luke

There's really not that many new businesses tbh. I mean still nothing real exciting downtown other than a handful of small shops and a whopping 2-story office building next to the Electric LOL. Downtown remains very slow to develop, especially vertically. Back when the Jewel Plaza and City View projects were built, I thought that was gonna be the start of a new trend of mid-rise mixed-use living downtown, but sadly there hasn't been anything new like those since.

@@tylerhaynes8546 I didn't know there were people out here that thought the same as me 🥲. jokes aside you are not wrong. sadly we won't ever have any buildings over 100 feet downtown because they require a couple stories of basements and the ground downtown is all aquifers. We could use a couple more strip malls too (as sad as that sounds). I made a list once of all the things St. George doesn't have and it took me 4 hours. I lost that list though :(

You bet! No Sprouts has signed in River Crossing on River Rd next to Summit. I mentioned that in a video a couple weeks ago called GW Blvd/River Rd if you scroll back a little bit on my channel

Thanks for the update of your update. We had watched that video but it just didn't register at that time.

they are supposedly opening in the Kmart area in a year or 2

@@LukeLamoreaux-eg7cy Oh buddy🙏🏽😵‍💫

Haha my thought exactly. I dont get it

It makes sense to me. New businesses mean more traffic. Change is scary. Not to mention the noise and inconvience of construction.

That's Utah for ya

I disagree. Paradise just keeps getting better!

Lol

ye because it was a paradise when the whole county looked like a trailer park? if anything it gets better and better everyday and has a LONG way to go. if you don't like it you can move.

@@LukeLamoreaux-eg7cyIf you don’t like it you can move, I haven’t heard that brilliant comeback for a while.

Appreciate that man! Thank you

Big new city?! haha the population is about 600 people and it hasn't really "grown" in years. I'm not sure how thats even possible to say

That’s what’s odd new extravagant restaurants and bars and hotels all out of place and a bazillion people on a Tuesday morning in mid May.

You obviously never been to a big city. I've lived in Baltimore, been to Philadelphia, Washington DC, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Columbus, Indianapolis, Kansas City, St. Louis, Denver, Las Vegas, those are big cities. And I visit Salt Lake City every now and then. I live in Provo and that could barely be called a "big city"

lol…says who? “Plenty”? That’s laughable. Southern Utah is dry for a reason - and guess why it is dry. I’ll give you a hint it’s a lack of wa***!

I'm a local too
