Trolley Square
Trolley Square stands as a beloved Salt Lake City landmark blending unique history with modern shopping convenience. Originally built as a trolley car barn in 1908, the complex was reinvented in 1972 into the enclosed shopping mall it remains today.
Stepping into Trolley Square feels like going back in time with its brick walls and historic trolley cars on display. Yet the 90+ shops, restaurants, and amenities offer a thoroughly modern experience. Popular national retailers like Anthropologie, Kendra Scott, and Tommy Bahama sit alongside local boutiques. Hungry shoppers can refuel at eateries spanning from pub fare to sushi.
Beyond shopping and dining, Trolley Square charms its quaint ambiance. Outdoor courtyards lend fresh air with a neighborhood vibe. Seasonal decor transforms the halls for holidays. Community events like concerts, craft fairs, and fitness classes give locals a reason to gather.
Thanks to its central East Bench location near downtown, Trolley Square offers convenience despite its historic character. Free parking and a Trax light rail station make this shopping center accessible. With its blend of historic charm, eclectic shops, and community focus, it’s easy to see why Trolley Square remains a treasured part of Salt Lake City’s local landscape. The complex stands as a testament to how the old can be reinvented into something modern, meaningful, and entirely Utahn.
