Orem has a new spot for greens and grains: Urban Acre, a fast-casual concept built around fresh salads and avocado toast, has quietly set up shop next to the Costco on E. 800 South. The opening adds another quick, health-minded option to the busy University Place shopping corridor.
City Rolls Out A Warm Welcome
Urban Acre did not exactly arrive with a marching band, but the city still gave it a public shout-out. Orem's official Facebook account shared a short reel on Sunday announcing the new shop, showing off the storefront and staff assembling bowls, according to the City of Orem Government.
Fast Salads, Avocado Toast On The Go
The concept bills itself as a fast-casual stop for farm-fresh salads and avocado toasts, with an emphasis on speed without sacrificing the "chef-crafted" feel. Job listings for the Orem location note that Urban Acre is hiring as it gets up and running and describe the menu as centered on chef-crafted salads and avocado toast, per Indeed.
Where To Find It
The new Urban Acre is tucked into the busy strip along E. 800 South near University Place, sitting right next to the Costco warehouse. A local business listing confirms the Orem address for Urban Acre, while the neighboring warehouse is listed among the Orem locations on Costco, and the salad shop appears on Giftly.
Another Small Win For Orem’s Retail Scene
Urban Acre’s debut is part of a steady trickle of smaller openings Orem has been spotlighting this summer, with the city leaning on social posts to give new businesses a boost. A recent example is Salsa Madre Hits State Street, another local newcomer that got the online welcome treatment as the city continues nudging fresh retail faces into the spotlight, as per Hoodline.
