The market brought 100 jobs to the Spanish Fork community!

 

For the Saturday celebration, customers will enjoy hot dogs, pizza, activities for kids and customer giveaways.

 

The newest Neighborhood Market brings online grocery pickup which allows customers to select from up to 40,000 online grocery items and choose the best time to pick their items up. A Walmart personal shopper loads the groceries into the customer’s car upon arrival – at no additional cost.

 

In addition,  this store is a new prototype Neighborhood Market that only exists in a limited number of communities, featuring wider aisles and lower counter tops in the deli and bakery for easy ordering.  A drive-thru pharmacy offers customers an option of picking up prescriptions without leaving their car.

THE USED

Release 7th Studio Album

The Canyon

Today on Hopeless Records

 

 

"It's their largest body of work to date, and in many ways, 

their most important." - Billboard

 

"The Canyon is more introspective and personal than anything 

The Used have put out to date." - Alternative Press

 

"The Canyon is The Used's declaration of longevity, proving once again that they 

have grown exponentially from the scene in which they were bred....The Canyon is 

prolific, lengthy, schizophrenic and simply genius." - Outburn Magazine

 

"The Canyon is an exercise in healing as much as it is in storytelling...a progression 

for them both musically and thematically." - OC Weekly

 

Available Now In Stores, on Apple Music

Headline Tour with Glassjaw Kicks Off Today

Tickets Available Here

 

October 27th, 2017 - Los Angeles, CA - The Used has officially released their new album The Canyon today. Produced by Ross Robinson (The Cure, At The Drive In), this 17-track album was recorded entirely on tape, with no more than 3 takes being used on each song. On the new record, Billboard shares "The Canyon details loss with beautiful universality, layers of dense literary lyricism built to leave its listener searching for particular truths." Fans can purchase the album now in stores, on Apple Music, iTunes or streaming on Spotify.

 

Written out of pain and loss, The Canyon is tragic and haunting while also having a sense of light and energy that is unlike anything this band has put forward. While keeping the heavy hitting melodies and gut wrenching lyrics that The Used is known for, this is the most visceral and personal piece of art the band has ever released.

 

Over the last 15 years The Used have released a collection of albums that have shaped the space of the alternative rock scene. High energy live shows, gut wrenching relatable lyrics, and melodies that blended pop sensibility and hard rock creating the perfect combination to make an everlasting impression on fans globally.  The band put everything into writing and recording The Canyon and from start to finish you are submerged into an inescapable visceral universe and McCracken leaves us with, "That's what this record is - it's a moment of silence for what's real."

Submissions open for the 2018 Utah Clean Air Chapbook: Breathing Stories

For those who live in Utah, it’s no secret that our state ranks among the worst for air quality. Environmental groups, moms, doctors, activists, and concerned residents of Utah have tirelessly advocated for clean air for years. To build on this important work, Torrey House Press is partnering with local clean air groups to create an art-as-advocacy chapbook called Breathing Stories: Utah Voices for Clean Air. Utah officials know the statistics on our polluted air, but to fully emphasize the gravity of the problem, we need your story. We will deliver the chapbook to every member of the Utah State Legislature and relevant city and county councilmembers, and will use your words to inspire and empower our community to act for clean air.

Learn more about the project and submit your story by November 27th.

“I didn’t want to become that 'token' Native, speaking on panels because I’m a minority, a woman, but I also didn’t want to pass on opportunities that would otherwise be filled by white, European men.” — Kayla

 

 

 

“By grounding myself in who I am, where I come from, and all of the people who have helped me get where I am today, I will do everything I can to advocate for demands that protect and amplify underrepresented voices, which I can only represent through my limited shared experiences.” — Michael

Welcome, Rachel!

 

 

This month Rachel Davis became our new Production and Community Relations Manager!

 

Rachel grew up in West Jordan, UT, where she still lives with three cats. From a young age, annual trips to Goblin Valley, Moab, and Washington Lake stoked her love of Utah’s land and an addiction to seeing the Milky Way. She recently earned her BA in English from the University of Utah and completed the University of Denver Publishing Institute. In her free time she can be found watching horror flicks, reading poetry and mysteries, or taking in the horizon that frames a cloud-filled sky.
