Emile Levisetti spent his career directing and producing. He had been baking focaccia for only about nine months when the Park Record profiled him in July. He started in a borrowed commercial kitchen in Park City. He didn't land in Kamas by scouting storefronts. A butcher shop already selling his bread told him a space was opening up.
Most of the food that opened on Kamas Main Street this year came the same way. It started small, came from people already selling food in Summit County, and in at least one case arrived because of a tip from a business already on the street. The places run short hours and keep schedules built around one owner. Two possible additions have come before the Kamas planning commission this year. Taken together, these openings follow a pattern you can trace along roughly a quarter mile of Main Street, from 30 North to 150 South.
It started at 150 South Main
The Stock Exchange is a butcher and seafood shop at 150 S. Main St. It's owned by Guy and Melissa Peterson, who moved to the Kamas Valley in 2019. The case carries pasture-raised beef, pork, lamb, veal and chicken from Utah farms. Local ranches Canyon Meadows and C11 Farms supply grass-fed, grass-finished beef. In the Park Record's 2025 profile, wild-caught seafood was flown in on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
The shop matters to this story for two reasons. It was one of Marvelli's first retailers, along with Mountain Town Olive Oil on Park City's Main Street and Talisker Club, and it's the business that told Levisetti about the Kamas space. Marvelli's own community page lists The Stock Exchange as an early partner. The shop also has a Friday-night sushi bar. The Park Record described it in 2025 as the shop turning into a sushi counter every Friday night, with rolls also available as pre-ordered platters to go. Marvelli's community page was still describing that Friday sushi counter in June 2026. Before planning a Friday around it, call the shop to confirm it's running that week.
Bread four days a week at 54 North
Marvelli Artisan Italian Breads moved into 54 N. Main St. at the beginning of July 2026. The bread is the Genoa style of focaccia, also called schiacciata or Genovese, which is a thinner loaf with a thicker crust. Levisetti pre-ferments a biga for 36 hours before baking. Before the loaves go in, he tops them with a salamoia, an emulsion of olive oil, salt and water. The oil is from Mountain Town Olive Oil. The Park Record put the salt and rosemary focaccia at $12 a loaf in July, and the shop also sells some of the ingredients he imports from Italy.
His part-time help is another local food name. Corinne Zinn owned Park City Creamery and sold the cheese business earlier this year. She now comes in around 8 a.m. to help with the bake.
The published hours don't match. In July, the Park Record reported retail hours of 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Thursday through Saturday. Marvelli's website lists Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with no Monday, Wednesday or Sunday hours. Before you make the drive, check with the shop for its current schedule. Levisetti told the Park Record he's growing slowly because everything is made by hand. He plans to add flavors he has already tested, including a spicy Calabrian pepper, a cacio e pepe and a sweet churro raisin. At a small shop like this, the menu and hours can change from one season to the next.
Ten tables at 30 North
Pa'l Corazón also came to Kamas through someone already in the local food business. Hugo Leonardo came to the United States from Mexico in 2001 as a teenager and worked his way through Park City kitchens. Four years ago he opened Leonardo's, a market and taquería serving Park City's Hispanic community. Pa'l Corazón, at 30 N. Main St., is his second business. It opened at the beginning of September after his family spent four months renovating the building.
Leonardo told the Park Record he expected mostly landscapers and construction crews on lunch breaks. The paper reported that the restaurant became a gathering place for workers and families, and the dining room is often full at all 10 tables. Word spread through online reviews and community Facebook groups.
Most of the menu comes from family recipes from Guerrero, the coastal state in southern Mexico where Leonardo grew up. The enchiladas come with crumbled queso fresco and cream instead of melted cheese, and rice and beans are served on the side. The enchiladas divorciadas come with two different salsas. Seafood dishes are based on Acapulco cooking, and the dessert menu includes a chocolate tres leches cake. Leonardo's wife and two daughters work in the restaurant.
Pa'l Corazón keeps longer hours than anything else on this list: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday and Monday, and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. In a town whose newest bakery closes in the afternoon, that makes it the latest-open of the new spots.
The stretch by address

|---|---|---|---|
| 30 N. Main St. | Pa'l Corazón | Guerrero-style Mexican, 10 tables | 11 a.m.–10 p.m. Sun–Mon, 11 a.m.–11 p.m. Tue–Sat |
| 54 N. Main St. | Marvelli Artisan Italian Breads | Genovese focaccia, imported Italian pantry items | Website lists Tue, Thu, Fri 10–5 and Sat 10–4 |

| 55 S. Main St. | Mirror Lake Diner site | Proposed mini-golf and parking | Ask the diner |
| 150 S. Main St. | The Stock Exchange | Butcher, seafood, Friday-night sushi | Confirm sushi night by phone |
Friday is the only day when all three food businesses line up. On either version of Marvelli's schedule, the bakery is open Friday morning. Pa'l Corazón serves from 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. The Stock Exchange's sushi counter has been a Friday-night fixture. You can do all three without leaving Main Street.
Two more have come before the planning commission
Both came up this year at planning commission meetings at Kamas City Hall, 170 N. Main.
The first is next to Mirror Lake Diner. The Kamas planning commission's May 5, 2026 agenda included a public hearing on a requested site plan for an outdoor miniature golf course at 55 S. Main. KPCW reported on May 29 that owner Gabe Morin planned the course along with added parking. The owners hoped to open by Labor Day but were still waiting on driveway permits. If you want to play this fall, ask the diner whether the course is open.
The second is another bakery. On the planning commission's October 6, 2026 agenda, Jennifer Corbet asked for a resolution of support for a Rural Communities Opportunities Grant application for French Cottage Bakery, LLC. The agenda doesn't say where the bakery would be or when it would open. It does put a second bakery on the record three months after Marvelli opened at 54 North.
Meetings at City Hall are streamed on the Kamas City YouTube channel, and comments can be sent ahead of a meeting to [email protected].
Small hours, by design
All of these places are small. Pa'l Corazón has ten tables. Marvelli's retail counter is open four days at most, and the baker is deliberately not expanding quickly. The Park Record's 2025 profile of The Stock Exchange noted that fresh inventory is hard to manage because the valley's population rises and falls with tourist seasons and second-home owners. Businesses this size change their hours as the seasons change. As November gets closer, check each business's own website or call before you go.
