New Businesses Opening in South Jordan (2026): What’s Coming & Why It Matters for Our Community
By Nancy Bergman, South Jordan Local Expert & Realtor
South Jordan continues to grow—and one of the best signs of a strong, thriving community is new businesses choosing to open their doors here. As a local Realtor and South Jordan resident expert, I keep a close eye on what’s coming to our area because new restaurants, retail, and entertainment don’t just add convenience—they strengthen property values, create jobs, and make our neighborhoods even more desirable.
Here’s a look at some of the exciting businesses and developments opening in South Jordan this year.
The Growth Hub: Downtown Daybreak
Much of the excitement is happening in Downtown Daybreak, which is quickly becoming the heart of South Jordan’s dining, entertainment, and retail scene.
This mixed-use district is attracting new restaurants, local retailers, and entertainment options—all centered around walkability, community events, and easy access to TRAX. With the addition of the new Salt Lake Bees stadium, the area is expected to bring year-round energy and continued business growth.
For homeowners, this kind of development is a big deal. Areas near lifestyle centers and entertainment districts typically see strong long-term demand.
New Restaurants Opening in South Jordan
South Jordan’s food scene keeps getting better. Some of the new and newer additions opening or expanding this year include:
-
Hires Big H – A Utah classic now serving up burgers, fries, and their famous root beer in Downtown Daybreak.
-
Bubbakoo's Burritos – A fast-casual favorite known for customizable burritos, bowls, and creative Mexican-fusion options.
-
Nami Lily Sushi & Ramen – A fresh addition offering sushi, ramen, and Japanese comfort favorites.
More dining concepts are expected throughout the year as demand continues to grow alongside South Jordan’s population, including the Utah's Famous, Red Iguana.
Retail, Services & Lifestyle Businesses
In addition to restaurants, South Jordan is seeing growth in:
-
Boutique fitness and wellness studios
-
Local service providers (beauty, health, and professional services)
-
Specialty retail and neighborhood-focused shops
As more residents move into areas like Daybreak, Herriman border communities, and west South Jordan, businesses are following to meet the demand.
