OREM, Utah (ABC4) — Calling all cheesecake lovers — Utah County’s first Cheesecake Factory now has an official opening date.

The new restaurant is set to open on Tuesday, July 2, and will be located at University Place in Orem, which will place it roughly halfway between Utah Valley University and Brigham Young University.

The new restaurant in Orem will be the third Cheesecake Factory in the state, and the first location outside of Salt Lake County. The restaurant will be approximately 8,500 square feet, and be located next to the mall’s Itto Sushi and Dillard’s.

The Orem restaurant promises to be open for seven days a week for lunch and dinner, plus brunch on the weekends. According to a press release, the Orem location will offer the full “signature menu” — which features more than 250 selections and more than 30 “legendary” options for cheesecakes.

The Orem location of The Cheesecake Factory will be joining more than 330 other restaurants throughout the United States and Canada, and another 34 international restaurants, according to the release.

The other locations in Utah are also located within shopping centers — located at the City Creek Center in Salt Lake and Fashion Place Mall in Murray. According to a release, The Cheesecake Factory has been in the Salt Lake area since 2007.

Ahead of the July 2 opening, the Orem restaurant is looking to hire about 300 new, “hospitality-minded” employees in a variety of roles.

Woodbury Corporation Celebrates Employees 50 Year Anniversary

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (February 22, 2024) – Woodbury Corporation is pleased to honor General Manager of University Place, Rob Kallas, for 50 years of employment and service to the shopping center, the company and Woodbury family.

He has been involved in real estate management and development with the Woodbury Corporation since 1974 and has had the primary responsibility of managing University Mall, now University Place, since 1978.

Rob has served on the Board of Directors of the Commission for Economic Development in Orem, the Provo-Orem Chamber of Commerce, and is currently on the Lindon City Planning Commission. He has also served on numerous committees, task forces and panels to improve and enhance business and economy in Utah County.

“Rob’s DNA is intertwined with everything about the University Place campus, its growth and many phases of redevelopment over the years, as well as several other shopping centers and office buildings in the area,” says Randy Woodbury, vice chairman of Woodbury Corporation. “It is difficult to put a value on his depth of knowledge and understanding of not just the physical assets, but the relationships with tenants, contractors, service providers and municipal staff and elected officials.”

“Rob has made a stalwart contribution to the development and success of University Place over the last 50 years. When faced with challenges such as losing department store anchors or resolving disagreements with tenants, Rob has always been willing to roll-up his sleeves to solve whatever problem he faced, said Rick Woodbury, chairman of Woodbury Corporation. “Today, University Place stands as a vibrant development and operation and Rob deserves much credit in creating and maintaining that success.”

Rob is married to Janeal Bylund. They have five children and many grandchildren. He is a graduate of Orem High School and Brigham Young University. After graduating from BYU, Rob spent three years at Fort Lee, Virginia serving in the United States Army.

In this day and age, it is unusual to find the kind of loyalty and commitment that would last 50 years and still be going strong. On behalf of the entire Woodbury Corporation family, we thank Rob and salute him on this impressive milestone!

Cheesecake Factory coming to University Place, replacing Los Hermanos

Posted on January 3, 2024 by cnguyen

Utah County will get its first Cheesecake Factory, with University Place officially announcing Tuesday that the restaurant chain will begin construction immediately to move into the shopping mall.

The Cheesecake Factory will move into the space soon to be vacated by Los Hermanos, which has been at Orem’s mall since 2019.

“The Cheesecake Factory is very pleased to be opening a restaurant at University Place, allowing us to serve Utah County families and visitors,” said David Overton, founder and CEO of The Cheesecake Factory Inc., in a press release. “The Cheesecake Factory has enjoyed being part of the greater Salt Lake City area since first opening there in 2007, and we look forward to being part of the community.”

Currently, there are two Cheesecake Factory locations in Utah, both located in Salt Lake County.

Aside from its namesake dessert, The Cheesecake Factory offers a voluminous, multicultural menu featuring salads, sandwiches, pasta, seafood and steaks.

“When we ask customers at University Place what new restaurant they most want, Cheesecake Factory always tops the list,” said Danny Woodbury, senior vice president of leasing at Woodbury Corp. “Woodbury Corp. is thrilled to bring this dynamic restaurant to Utah County and believes it is the perfect complement to our lineup of entertainment, dining and shopping options.”

Los Hermanos announced last Friday on Facebook that it will be returning to downtown Provo and hopes to reopen in early February. The restaurant’s last open day in Orem is on Wednesday.

The local Mexican restaurant spent 30 years serving customers in Provo before a fire in 2019 caused the business to move from Provo’s Center Street to University Place.

“The decision whether to move to a different spot at University Place weighed heavily on the owners, however after some time, the opportunity to move into the iconic Knight Block building on the corner of University Ave. and Center Street in Historic Downtown Provo presented itself, and we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to return to our roots,” Los Hermanos said on Facebook.

According to The Cheesecake Factory’s press release, construction will begin immediately. The company later told the Daily Herald it is anticipating opening the restaurant closer to fall.

Local charities receive donations through Giving Machines at University Place

Posted on December 11, 2023 by cnguyen

There is nothing more fun than giving presents at Christmas time, which could explain why the Light the World Giving Machines are so popular. The machines at University Place in Orem typically receive some of the largest quantities of donations when compared to other machines around the world.

What a lot of donors — or would-be donors — may not know is they can give to charities in Utah County through these same machines that also help people globally. The machines are sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

To encourage that giving spirit, local charities are sharing what they provide in Utah County.

The United Way of Utah County always needs donations for its programs. Bill Hulterstrom, president and CEO, said the agency constantly seeks to make lives better in Utah County.

“We are thrilled to partner with the Giving Machines again this year. This is such an incredible opportunity for our community to connect and give to where help is needed most. Each donation is absolutely making a difference in the lives of our neighbors,” Hulterstrom said.

Recreation and Habilitation Services is another local charity chosen this year to been a recipient of Giving Machine donations. RAH is a private, not-for-profit organization that provides services and supports to individuals with intellectual disabilities who are 18 or older.

“We feel tremendously blessed for RAH to have two giving opportunities included in the 2023 Giving Machines,” said Cheryl Adamson, executive director. “As a not-for-profit organization that does not receive state or federal funding, we are dependent on the generosity of individuals, businesses and local communities to fund our programs for adults who have intellectual disabilities.”

“Financial challenges following the pandemic have been especially difficult for our small independent organization,” Adamson added. “We are so grateful we have had the capacity to continue to provide services and supports to our participants and their families and are excited about the continued opportunities that will be available because of the kindness of those who choose to light the world by donating to our projects through the Giving Machines.”

Jackie Larson, executive director of Centro Hispano, which provides assistance and resources to new immigrants and refugees from Spanish-speaking countries, said there are new and exciting additions to their program this year and that donations are always needed and used.

“Centro Hispano is working hard to combat the injustices and challenges experienced by Spanish-speaking immigrants and refugees by offering equitable resources that empower them to thrive in the community,” Larson said. “Some of those resources include a food and hygiene pantry, health classes for the Hispanic and Latino youth, English classes, vocational training, immigration legal paperwork assistance, business accounting classes and much more.”

Centro Hispano recently became accredited through the Department of Justice and is now able to represent individuals in courts for cases of asylum, family petitions and victims of domestic as well as other kinds of violence. It is the only nonprofit in the Utah County area that can perform this service, according to Larson.

“Being part of the Giving Machines initiative with the LDS church is an incredible opportunity. To see the generosity of individuals who contribute to these machines, knowing that their donations will directly benefit our immigrant and refugee neighbors, is heartwarming,” Larson said. “It reminds us that by working together, we can make a profound and positive impact on the lives of those who may be facing challenges as they build new lives in our community. It’s a beautiful reminder of all the good there is in the world.”

Holly Johnson, outreach housing coordinator for The Refuge, said the charity serves survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault throughout Utah, Juab and Wasatch counties. Among its free and confidential services is an emergency shelter, temporary rental assistance, individual and group therapy, educational support groups and hospital response advocates.

The Refuge has two 24/7 hotlines to respond to victims and anyone seeking information about services that could be helpful.

“The donations we receive from the Giving Machine greatly impact the lives of those we serve for good. These generous donations let survivors know that they are not alone, their voices matter and they are being heard,” Johnson said. “From something as simple as a warm, comforting blanket to school supplies for a child affected by domestic violence, survivors feel the respect and dignity they deserve. The assistance with safe, secure housing enables victims to leave abuse behind and go on to live a peaceful life. It’s very difficult to leave an abusive relationship and The Refuge Utah provides much-needed emotional and temporal support.”

Karen McCandless, CEO of Community Action Services and Food Bank, is grateful for every donation they receive and that they have been included in the Giving Machines this holiday season.

“CASFB is grateful to be part of the Light the World Giving Machines. There is an urgent need for food to be donated to help our neighbors and a great way to donate is through the agency’s food-based items in the machines,” McCandless said. “I am very thankful for the continued support our community gives Community Action. The Giving Machines are a fun way to provide that support.”

CASFB was founded in 1967 with the mission to foster self-reliance in individuals, families and the community. The organization serves Utah, Summit and Wasatch counties with one food bank, six pantries and nearly 100 community partners. Services include a learning center, homebuyer education classes, rent and utility assistance, food assistance, community gardens, the Circles Initiative, Bridges Out of Poverty trainings and resource connection.

CASFB also participates in the Mountainland Continuum of Care, which is actively working with government, faith-based and private organizations to provide support to homeless residents, McCandless added.
