I generally like to stay away from the large chains, but many people in Utah have no clue that Jason’s Deli is exactly that since there are only two in Utah. Although the Murray location has been open for a while now, the Orem store is considered brand new and much of the population of Happy Valley is just now “discovering” this sandwich sensation.

Yes, I am fully aware that Costco is not a restaurant.
