Here just about every day just because I live around the block. A bit pricey tbh. Not a fan of the in-store made food, personally. But works for quick grabs and basic grocery needs. Would not do my full shopping here. Staff is always great!

Impeccable Food, Amazing Prices, Super Cordial Staff! I think that pretty much sums it up. Im in town from california and staying at a hotel across the street for a month. Anyone from another state can attest to the fact that whenever you visit a new state, one cant help but feel like strangers. But coming to this store for the past several days everyday purchasing food makes u believe that you have been around this city for a while. Jesse and another young lady ( forgot her name who helped me on wednesday late afternoon) are both amazing. Every time i have gone to the store, JESSE has been more than gracious, welcoming and helped me with anything i asked for and went above and beyond to provide impeccable service. Food was FRESH, TASTY, WELL PRICED AND ABOVE ALL A+ QUALITY. Been buying sushi here past two days and its fresh, creative, of great quality and the sushi chefs were so kind to accommodate my request for extra ginger on the side. Whether you are a tourist or a local, u must visit this place and try them out. You will not be disappointed. I know i will be coming back again and again till the time im here in SLC. Thank you The store....you certainly are The Store for me....cheers

The store is insanely convenient and although small, they have anything you’d ever need! The employees are always so helpful sweet! They have an awesome selection of locally sourced stuff and stuff I’ve never heard of - perfect for trying new things! Could not recommend this place enough - literally there everyday.

Beautiful store! With lovely fresh variety, 🙂 but for the wealthy only ofcourse.🙄 BOGOs are the only good deals so us regular peasants can try the wealthy foods. & 🚨 CHECK the expiration dates! Seems everything is expired! Check sales prices, they ring up wrong & make sure youre not double scanned at the checkout. That has happened to me several times now. 🤨👎🏻🚨

I always love going here. It has a small yet wide selection of your certain needs. It being so small, gives anyone visiting the Gateway a quick fix for lunch, dinner, or a hot bar breakfast.

This place is real charming. They have good Branding 👍, local sweets, treats, shrubs, food and great gift options. Its like a nice market meets a Bodega with souvenirs. They have it all! Including toiletries, animal food and hot prepared foods. The prices of bath products are a little higher than the local grocery store but its the price you expect for a nicer boutique market. They take EBT! Thats so unexpected and a welcomed bonus!

Prices are expectedly high, but theres so many good and fresh foods, plus they have Leatherbys ice cream. Theyre very conscious of social distancing but theres usually not a lot of people in the store. I would definitely go more if I lived closer, maybe even just to stop in and get some black cherry soda or something from their selection of hot fresh food. Its also nice to have access to farmers market foods outside of the farmers market, too.

I accidentally forgot my mask and they told me I cant shop without one. I cant believe they charge way too much for everyday items and they cant provide a cheap free mask like Target does? The cashier was so unprofessional about it too and I would have bought a mask if he was nicer! Doesnt he realize that some stores dont require mask now. I honestly forgot mine.Ill never walk in there again! The owner has been so nice everytime to me but her employees are ruining it for the regular shoppers.I would rather pay Postmates to deliver than walk in there ever again!

I love the convenience of this store. They have great customer service and some of the best deli items. I love the specialty items I may be looking for. The meats are excellent quality and the prices are very competitive to big chains like Smiths or Harmons. This store is a cross between Trader Joes or Wholefoods. If you live in the Gateway this is where you should shop. Oh, and by the way the Hot bar and salad bar rock. Their in-house bakers and chefs are the best in Salt Lake City.

I like the store called The Store. The original is in Holladay (or Cottonwood Heights?) & this one here @ The Gateway (wgich used to be my favorite mall- oh well 😢 things change ☺).Um heres my loot today, though I remembered why I went in after I got out... Elmhurst plant (based) milk.. Will go right back in there & find out if they have it.. Okay, so no Elmhurst (I like em cause they are more natural plant based milks w less additives (if any). BUT (and thats a big but), they have this (& its lookin pretty natural, so Ill try..)[pic included too] & look how cool their sticker stuffs are: (pic) & so much local stuff it makes one happy!

I am coming here for EVERYTHING! First, I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, so I usually go to Costco due to their low cost and great quality. However, when I came here I was amazed to see that they had a great produce selection, BETTER quality than Costco, and I didnt analyze everything, but per unit, they were actually cheaper than Costco!THEN, there was a particular item I was looking for so I asked a guy if they sold it. He said usually at the salad bar, but he will sell me a container for a specific price. Also cheaper than Costco. I was stoked! I then asked how they were prepared because I am allergic to a particular ingredient. Just to be sure he had a cook whip up a batch that was sure to be free of that ingredient. I thanked him and told him I eat them every day, but finding them prepared that way has been tricky. He said he will make sure they always have it in stock, then introduced me to another worker, and told him my situation, so if he wasnt there I could ask him. LOVE THIS PLACE!Not only are they the kings of customer service, they have a really great selection and really great prices. I was very shocked to see others complain about the prices. Where else are these people shopping? 1982?

In looking at their website it said they had wood fire pizzas. When I got there they had no idea what I was talking about. It was pretty disappointing.They are a good little neighborhood store. Prices are higher than a full sized store but less than a convenience store.

Review №37

So happy to have this place in the neighborhood.Initially I was expecting this to be akin to a convenience store. Wrong. This is a full blown one-stop grocery store with an impressive selection of typical grocery items, as well locally sourced items, grab and go food, and a delicious hot-bar.The staff is friendly and attentive.I do wish it was open a little later and the prices will sometimes make you wince, but all in all, a very welcome addition to the area.

Review №39

Prices are higher in the same way 7-11 Stores are higher than a Costco or Smiths store. Convenience! It is well worth it to me (I live at Gateway) to walk to The Store and get such a large selection of everything. Cant say how much I enjoy having it so close to anyone who lives or works at Gateway. Im so glad they came here!!NOTE: Revision - July 7th - Convenience v. Price. The cost is really expensive. I am rethinking my review. I took off one star because I am spending way too much for convenience.

I live pretty close to this place and it’s a nice walk and pretty convenient. However, every time I go in the employees especially the girl cashier never smiles, and the manager seems annoyed that I forgot my mask. I don’t think I want to shop here anymore, stuck up and pricey.

We are so excited to have a grocery store at the gateway!!! We love living downtown and the only thing that could make our neighborhood better was a grocery store. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Of course you’re going to pay extra for convenience and we are ok with it. If your looking for bargain buys stick to the big box stores but if you want to support local business and eat great food, The Store is where it’s at!

Review №54

The stars I gave are because the customer service was fine, the place is close, and they sell pastries from fillings and emulsions, my favorite bakery. The prices really arent worth it for most things, if Im actually grocery shopping Id rather go to the rancho markets nearby. Ridiculous upcharging but I guess people go for it anyway because its close. I was really hopeful when the store initially opened up but Im pretty let down.

Living in the Altitude Apartments, this is the only convenient location to shop for groceries without a vehicle. While some things may seem a little pricey compared to big chain stores, most of the prices are fairly competitive; and again, the convenience makes this perfect.

Review №61

Great place. Nice staff and its always clean. Highway robbery prices, however. Grab an iced coffee for $5, or get yourself a microwavable burrito for $6 (both are about double the price point at a place like Harmons). Ill come here if I need something quick because I live literally right next door, however myself and most of my neighbors go to Harmons for full-scale grocery shopping. Its just a lot cheaper. If youre in the Gateway and need to grab something quick, this is a great spot. If you live near by and are looking for a grocery store, youre looking at paying Whole Food prices + for nothing really too special. Honest opinion and no offense to those who run this customer friendly store. I know they cant compete with bigger store pricing, but it does not change the fact that the bigger stores are cheaper.

Review №65

Convenient but some things are super over priced. 2-3 times the price at a standard grocery store. Depending on what you need would be cheaper to just use instacart. Sushi is well priced.In response to the store reply: the tea, some frozen foods, deli sandwiches. Honestly, and not meaning to sound rude, it seems more on you to send out a secret shopper or something to compare pricing?

Taste of the food on the Hot bar has really improved a lot since they opened. Got it tonight and the ribs were finally cooked long enough to be fall off the bone tender. When they first opened they just werent cooking them low and slow for long enough. Now they are tender and very flavorful. Same with the brisket. Even the sides seem much better as well. Before they were pretty bland but now they seem to have gotten the seasoning just right. So if you tried the hot bar before and were disappointed in the taste like me, give them another try now and I think youll be pleasantly surprised by how much better it has gotten. Thanks for keeping the fat free milk at only $1.65 a gallon too. Best price in town! Think youd do a much bigger lunch business if you improved the layout of the store to make the available seating more comfortable like a restaurant. Run two rows of booths along the windows where produce is now. Remove the clings on those windows to allow diners to look out and passers by to see people enjoying lunch in there. Current seating is awkward and uncomfortable because its crammed in next to the shopping carts with no dividing low wall and all the customers have to navigate their carts around you as you try to eat. So when customers walk in the front door on the right they pass a isle on the right of booths for seating. With the right sides booths along the windows and the left side of booths against a new half wall. Then carts on the back side of that half wall. Then Produce after the carts.

My husband is part of the booming new business owners who are paying attention to office space at the Gateway. It was so exciting the first time we toured the area to find a grocer with fantastic lunch options and a hot/cold bar. This was the fall, jump ahead to winter and the many times we have gone into the store we both say the same thing almost instantaniously- Its so COLD! This isnt like once or twice its every single time we have gone into the store since Thanksgiving and the temps started to drop. We came once to have some of the gourmet cookies and eat lunch in the little eat-in area with our daughters and had to leave since it was so cold. Today (2/3/20) We were in the store and the poor girl at the front register had her puffer coat zipped up around her legs. She had on a happy face and smiled at us and said nothing as I noticed her coat and got a funny look realizing she was so cold. I made a comment about the fact that the store has a vestibule (this is the double door system that most retailers build to keep a rush of cold or hot air from rushing into the main part of the building, you enter thru two sets of doors before entering the main store) I told her that management should increase the price of their soda refills if they are struggling to heat the place. She laughed timidly and checked us out. I looked and looked and searched for a way to contact management to tell them how sadly disappointed I have been in how cold their store is but I could find no CONTACT info anywhere. Looks like the company is family owned and the only mention of the owners is in a Trib article siting Scotty Niederhauser as owner or operator. This is a red flag Mr. Niederhauser - its an epidemic. While we were there three other patrons all agreed they hate how cold it is, makes shopping rushed and quick. I have to think that might result in them spending less $ however I may be wrong and the dollars spent on keeping the place a balmy 59 degrees might be the savings keeping you in business. We love your store, so dont go under if the heat is the issue. But I think the thermostat could be re-evaluated!
