PULSE

Tuesday. Six items. The Wasatch Post's hydration-bar lease story today is the kind of structural reporting that helps operators in adjacent categories see what's coming. Mario's Plumbing fully staffing summer ahead of demand is a good sign for service availability through August.

FOUNDERS

Black Sheep's 4-week ramp in Park City is fast for a new market. The brand had density on the Wasatch Front first — that's the playbook other Utah retail chains keep skipping at their own cost.
