Mattress Firm’s first seven locations in the greater Salt Lake City market are located at Jordan Landing in West Jordan, West Valley City, South Salt Lake, Fashion Place, Midvale, Sandy-South Towne and at Riverdale Family Center in South Ogden. The distribution center is located just east of Bangerter Highway at 3400 West California Avenue in the heart of Salt Lake’s strongest retail distribution industrial market. “Leases for an additional stores have been signed at locations to be announced later this year,” said Darren Pitts, Executive Vice President at Velocity Retail.
“Velocity Retail Group is among the best in the business,” said Bruce Levy, Senior Vice President of Real Estate & Construction for Mattress Firm. “Darren and the team’s ability to handle our distribution center requirement along with our multi-store retail site selection strategy under very tight time parameters is imperative to our growth. We look forward to leveraging their expertise to find billboard locations in new markets as we continue our rapid national expansion.”
Chad Moore, Managing Principal of Mountain West commented that “The timing of Mattress Firm’s entry into the Salt Lake City market has been key to getting some very high profile locations. We’ve been able to acquire excellent locations in areas where space has traditionally been very difficult to secure.”
