All About Annie: The Unlikely Tale of Annie’s Cafe

March 30, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Annie Bennet — co-owner with her husband Dave of Annie’s Cafe in Bountiful — has a story to tell. The path that led her to opening Annie’s Cafe was an arduous one, filled with triumphs and setbacks — challenges both personal and professional, and more obstacles than most of us see in a lifetime. But Annie is full of grit and determination, resilience and resolve.  Her … [Read more...]

Seventy Years of Family and Flowers: The Art Floral

February 2, 2021 by John Michael Pantlik Leave a Comment

  If you’re near the corner of 600 East and 300 South in downtown Salt Lake City around 3pm on any given day, you’ll probably see a tall Greek woman with a mane of curly black hair herding a flock of chickens to their coop. An 11-year old terrier is always by her side. The terrier is named Artie, and her name is Stefanie. But no, she doesn’t own a chicken … [Read more...]

Behind the Scenes at the Utah Department of Agriculture and Utah’s Own

March 25, 2019 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Receiving certification from the Compliance Officers through the Utah Department of Agriculture is one of the most difficult steps any food entrepreneur faces. But in order to sell in stores and most farmers markets, it’s a necessity that anyone with a dream of owning their own food or farm business must endure. I hear the lamentations of makers throughout Utah, most gripes … [Read more...]

Moab Proud, Moab Made

November 14, 2018 by Heila Ershadi Leave a Comment

Moab Made describes itself as “a shop dedicated to the local artisan community.” I would add that the Main Street store is hand-crafted for the individual who appreciates singular items.  Moab Made’s wares have soul and personality. Moab Made was founded by Rebecca McAllister in 2016. “It was created out of a personal desire to do something that I knew I would feel really … [Read more...]

Top Hat Video: Get the Popcorn!

November 13, 2018 by Connie Lewis Leave a Comment

  In 1983, when every street corner had a video rental business, Lee and Lona Earl got in on the ground floor with a franchised Adventureland Video store. They started out at Five Points Mall in Bountiful and remained with Adventureland until that business closed. They looked at options with Aardvark Video or Warner Video. They chose instead to venture out with a … [Read more...]

Evolve Elements

August 21, 2018 by Connie Lewis Leave a Comment

After working in architectural woodwork for over 20 years, designing and selling millwork packages for commercial, academic, and retail businesses, Stan Sommer decided to venture out on his own. He saw a lot of millwork, casework and cabinetry work being outsourced to China and other countries to save money. His philosophy is that sending materials overseas creates problems … [Read more...]

Avenues Barber: Keeping Men Handsome for over a Century

May 29, 2018 by Mike Jones Leave a Comment

I am sitting in a large old-fashioned barber chair in Ben Paul’s shop while he runs a set of clippers over my head. “I really didn’t think I would end up cutting hair,” Ben says. “I went to get my hair cut at this hole-in-the-wall shop in Sugar House. It had such a cool vibe and was such an honest experience that it left an impression on me. I went home and talked to my wife, … [Read more...]

Hats off to Jim Whittington

May 2, 2018 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Jim Whittington says he never “moved” to Salt Lake City in 1963. “I found myself here after a two-week drunken binge. I was in Helper, then somehow woke up in Springville.” Originally from New Mexico, Jim thought he had died and gone to heaven. “I saw those beautiful mountains,” he says, “and I found that I really like it here. Utah has been good to me.” Jim or JW (Jay … [Read more...]
