SOUTH JORDAN, Utah — Downtown Daybreak in South Jordan proudly announces the grand opening of Hires Big H, a beloved restaurant that has been an institution in Utah for over 65 years. Founded in 1959, Hires Big H is renowned for made-from-scratch burgers, hand-cut fries, frosty mugs of root beer, and the classic pink fry sauce that locals adore. The new location provides a fantastic opportunity to continue this cherished tradition, where families gather not only for delicious food but also to create lasting memories.
“We are excited to welcome Hires Big H to Downtown Daybreak,” says David Cannon, Commercial Division President of Larry H. Miller Real Estate. “This new location not only honors a beloved Utah tradition but also embodies our commitment at Larry H. Miller Real Estate to build the places where life takes place.”
Downtown Daybreak is part of a plan that originated over 20 years ago. Now it’s shifting into a new gear thanks to the collaboration between Larry H. Miller Real Estate and the City of South Jordan. This 200-acre mixed-use development connects seamlessly to light rail, is located adjacent to the Mountain View Corridor, and is part of the award-winning master-planned community of Daybreak.
The first phase of Downtown Daybreak includes Utah’s first-of-its-kind sports and entertainment district, America First Square. This area features The Ballpark at America First Square, home of the Salt Lake Bees, as well as a Megaplex cinema entertainment center with a movie theater, interactive bowling, games, and enhanced food and beverage options. Additionally, there is an outdoor performance venue offering live concerts and performances throughout the summer.
In addition to Hires Big H, the first phase of Downtown Daybreak emphasizes the importance of supporting small, local businesses. Moena Café recently opened, bringing its beloved Hawaiian flavors and the spirit of aloha. Several more businesses will launch soon during Downtown Daybreak’s Season of Openings, including Nomad Eatery, Rockwell Ice Cream Company, Naraya by Sawadee Thai, and Jolley’s Corner.
Hires Big H is located at 11098 South Grandville Ave, South Jordan, UT 84009
