In August 2017, a brand new Smith’s Marketplace was built. This was a big deal for St. George, as two other supermarkets had just built their second locations in St. George not long before that, too. More than one location for supermarkets? That means a ton of growth here in Southern Utah.
The new Smith’s Marketplace was built at Dinosaur Crossing, right next to the Dinosaur Track Museum on Riverside Drive. Not only did they build a new supermarket, but a whole new shopping center. When the supermarket was completed, there was still a lot of excitement in anticipating what new businesses would come to St. George.
Now, almost a year and a half later, most of the shopping center is complete! Here is a quick rundown of what you can find at Dinosaur Crossing:
Restaurants:
- Panda Express
Their third location – so no matter where you are in St. George, you’ll always have your favourite American Chinese restaurant close by.
- Orange Peel
Prefer a lighter meal? Grab a bubble tea or smoothie from Orange Peel! They have a wide variety of flavors to choose from, and you can even add “Infusions” for an extra boost.
- Beans and Brews
If you’re in need of a caffeine pick-me-up, there is a Beans and Brews Coffeehouse where you can recharge with a cup of coffee and this is one of their select locations that also serve food. Win-win!
- Kneaders
Many locals’ favourite breakfast spot, Kneaders has finally opened a second location. More cinnamon french toast, please!
- Swig
Swig’s third St. George location is located here at Dinosaur Crossing, making their dirty soda and their addicting sugar cookies even more accessible!
- Chronic Tacos (COMING SOON)
The popular restaurant Chronic Tacos is bringing their laid-back-SoCal-vibes Mexican food to St. George soon!
