Harmons Partners with Local First Utah



Harmons Grocery Stores
Partners with
Local First Utah
to Support Locally-Owned Businesses




Harmons Grocery Stores announced that it will serve as a title sponsor to Local First Utah to help strengthen Utah's economy by promoting, preserving, and protecting local, independently-owned businesses statewide.

“Harmons and Local First Utah are natural partners,” said Bob Harmon, vice president for Harmons. “Harmons Grocery Stores was founded in Utah in 1932 by our grandparents, Jake and Irene Harmon, and we’ve grown to 13 stores statewide because of the tremendous support of local Utah communities. Our sponsorship of Local First Utah is one way that we can give back to the community and help build that same opportunity for other locally-owned businesses. In that same vein, Harmons has made a commitment to do business with local vendors and food producers when at all possible.”

Joelle Kanshepolsky, executive director for Local First Utah said, “We are excited about Harmons’ support of our organization. This is the first time that Local First Utah has partnered in such a big way with a private company. We look forward to working together to drive the Buy Local movement. Harmons’ position in the community as a well-respected and long-standing local business will certainly increase our ability to make real progress.”
