Salt Lake to Park City: A Smarter Vacation Grocery Stocking Service
Dual-Location Fulfillment Backed by the World's Largest Costco
Guest Groceries is launching a logistics-forward grocery model that combines the power of Salt Lake City's world-class infrastructure with the growing demand for pre-arrival groceries in Park City. At the heart of this system is a central hub — a commercial fulfillment facility that receives, stages, and delivers curated grocery orders with unmatched efficiency.
What Is the Dual-Location Model?
A centralized prep location in Salt Lake City paired with local pickup and delivery in Park City.
Orders are assembled near Costco, Walmart, and the state liquor store, then transported up the mountain for direct access by vacationers, short-term renters, and SLC locals. The model is built for scale—allowing you to operate like a grocer, without the risk or overhead of holding inventory.
Key Highlights:
-
All groceries are paid for in advance—no spoilage or guesswork
-
Supports split-item shopping from Costco multipacks
-
Ideal for pre-arrival delivery, in-unit stocking, or guest pickup
-
Technology-powered storefronts with custom bundles and branded options
-
Flexible to operate from any qualified commercial space in the area


Why This Location Works
📍 Positioned Near the World’s Largest Costco
Salt Lake City is home to the largest Costco in the world—a 235,000 sq. ft. hybrid warehouse/business center that combines an extensive grocery selection with expanded operating hours. Located within a high-density logistics corridor, the area offers:
-
Immediate access to Costco, Walmart, and the state liquor store
-
Early morning shopping windows ideal for staging guest orders
-
4,000+ more products than standard Costco warehouses
-
Efficient sourcing for both small bundles and large-scale fulfillment
This strategic location near key wholesalers and I-15 makes it an ideal base for feeding Park City and other nearby vacation markets.
Built-In Logistics Advantage
Strategically Positioned for Efficient Fulfillment
The area near Salt Lake Costco is directly along transportation routes frequently used by:
-
Airport shuttles and limo services headed to Park City
-
Rental car agencies serving ski season travelers
-
Local delivery drivers and mobile concierge teams
This allows for streamlined coordination between your fulfillment operation and those helping move guests into their vacation homes—enabling direct hand-offs, timed deliveries, or pickup options on the way up the mountain.


Culinary Add-Ons and Meal Prep Integration
The fulfillment model also supports licensed caterers and local meal prep providers who want to add value to grocery orders.
Opportunities Include:
-
Frozen casseroles or family-style entrees
-
Vacation-themed meal kits or grab-and-go snacks
-
Prepackaged desserts, baked goods, or après-ski bundles
