Inhabitants of the Daybreak planned community in South Jordan, now numbering 8,000 people, are finally getting some commercial and retail company.
They'll be served by seven businesses, including a bank, a gym and a couple of eating establishments, set to open in the new SoDa Row Village Center on Daybreak Parkway, Scott Schwendiman, commercial development manager for Kennecott Land, said Friday.
The businesses are ...
» Black Diamond Gymnastics and Sports Center. The Park City-based company will occupy nearly 17,000 square feet of space.
Black Diamond plans a soft opening in mid-August, about a month before the center formally opens Sept. 19.
» San Gelato Cafe. The cafe will serve Italian ice cream, panini, sorbets and other food items in a 2,000-square-foot space. San Gelato will open sometime between Sept. 1 and Sept. 15.
» Tio's Mexican Restaurant. The 2,600-square-foot restaurant will serve lunch and dinner. It, too, will open after Sept. 1.
» Oopsie Daily. The children's store will sell clothes, shoes, furniture and gifts. It will occupy 2,200 square feet, with a soft opening in early September.
» Classic Cleaners. The 900-square-foot clothes cleaner will provide pickup and drop-off service. Its opening is planned for sometime between Sept.1 and Sept. 15.
» Guy's Barbershop. The one-chair shop will offer haircuts and straight razor shaves in a 228-square-foot space. Guy's will open in August.
»Zions Bank. The Zions branch office will occupy a building adjacent to SoDa Row. No opening date was announced.
SoDa Row consists of 68,000 square feet of space in five buildings. More tenants are expected to be announced in coming weeks.
"This group represents 37 percent of the [leasable] space. If everything were to happen that I know of today, we will be at 72 percent in the next four to six weeks," Schwendiman said.
Kennecott Land plans to build a 50,000-square-foot office building at the center in one or two years. The center also has retail pads and sites that could add another 20,000 to 50,000 square feet in the future.
About 2,000 houses in Daybreak are occupied. Kennecott Land expects to build 20,000 residences with a population of 45,000 people.
"The long-term plans for more homes and businesses make it the perfect site for us," said Brady Tanner, who is opening his third Classic Cleaners.

Daybreak is about to become the home to seven new locally-owned and operated businesses. Kennecott Land officially announced the tenants for the new SoDa Row mixed use commericial section of Daybreak. Daybreak residents will now have the chance to walk or ride a short distance to go out to eat, get a haircut, deposit a check, or take the kids to dance or karate lessons. Here is a list of the latest tentants to be contracted for SoDa Row:
Grab a meal
Tio’s Mexican Restaurant - As a decent Mexican resteraunt is not located even close to Daybreak, this place will be a welcome addition. Tio’s is a local Mexican restaurant with one other location currently open in Murray. I asked around about the place in Murray and heard good reviews consisting of authentic food and good service.
San Gelato Café - Gelato in Italian literally means "frozen" and that is what this cafe will mainly serve - Italian icecream. 36 different flavors to be exact. Not in the mood for dessert? Try the a panini, an italian sandwich which has become immensly popular here in America. Pizza, salads, soups, and wraps will also be served at this cafe. Learn more at

Flips, Dance, and so much more
Black Diamond Gymnastics - Black Diamond is a Park City based business that will open a second location in Daybreak. It provides gymnastics, dance, cheer and martial arts. However, the list of activities at this new state of the art facility will be wide ranging. Right Star Academy, an academic preschool and tutoring program, will be integrated into the facility as well. Black Diamond offers unique services. An example? How about the Big Air program. The Big Air program is especially for skiers, boarders, skaters, etc. The curriculum focuses on trampoline and tumbling instruction designed to enhance core strength, air awareness and self-confidence while learning the proper technique of flipping and twisting.

Get a Haircut
Guy's Barbershop - A truly local establishment where local owner, Guy Dumas, will provide the traditional hair cutting services as a one-man show. Want to know about the neighborhood and the locals? I would ask him. As part of his job description, he will be more knowledgable about individual residents than anyone.
Kids and Clothes
Oopsie Daisy will be the new children's botique in Daybreak. It will offer distinctive children’s clothes, shoes, gifts and furniture. Not a bad idea considering Daybreak is crawling with youngsters.
The Cleaners
Classic Cleaners is an environmentally aware business with two other locations in the valley. I've personally heard good reviews about the other locations. Usually people mention a quick turn around time and friendly service.
Stash the Cash
Zions Bank - Founded in 1873 in Utah, this bank has been a major entity in Utah business from the beginning. Now a local branch will be located in SoDa Row for the convenience of residents.

TRAX lightrail, under construction
Mid-Jodan TRAX Reaches Milestone
The Utah Transit Authority recently announced that the Mid-Jordan TRAX line is now approximatly 40% complete. This milestone was reached this past May as freight trains start using the new TRAX line for deliveries to local businesses. While the trains are using the new line, UTA will be cutting out the old freight line and realigning it to be parallel with the new TRAX line. Once the Mid-Jordan line is finished in late 2011, two lines will be used by TRAX during the day and by the freight trains at night.
When completed, the project will interline with the Sandy/Salt Lake TRAX Line with direct service to the Salt Lake Central Station in downtown Salt Lake City, where it will connect with UTA’s FrontRunner commuter rail system and bus service.
