Local businesses who are bending over backwards to stay open and need your patronage during social isolation

By Sophie Silverstone

Although it may feel like everything is closed after the March 18 earthquake and the COVID-19 pandemic, many local businesses are working hard to keep their doors open. Due to Governor Herbert’s order to restricton all sit-down service in Utah as of March 16, most restaurants and coffee shops have adjusted their hours and are offering curbside or delivery service.

We’ve done all the work for you, found a large list of restaurants, grocery stores and other businesses who are still open and need your patronage during this interesting time. We’ve found out who has FREE delivery, online menus, third-party delivery services, and all of the abilities to make your life sweeter right now.

Fend off boredom from your social isolation time with some glorious take-out food while supporting local businesses. While small local businesses can apply for aid, the best way to help our local economy stay afloat during all of this is by continuing to be a customer. Here are just a couple of options and updates:
