In the age of hour-long commutes, constant cell phone alerts and value meals served up from the fast food drive-through, don’t you sometimes wish we could go back to the good old days? In the little town of Roosevelt, you can step back in time when you step in the door of Marion’s Variety.
The little town of Roosevelt is located in the eastern part of the state, between Vernal and Duchesne.

With around 7,000 residents, it’s a small town, and it has a charming Main Street that’s lined with flowers and long-standing businesses.
Marion’s Variety opened in 1933, and it’s still serving residents and visitors alike. It’s located at 29 N. Main Street.
This little shop is filled with gift items, souvenirs, and knick-knacks.

There’s a little lunch counter inside. Grab a bar stool and order up a burger, sandwich or soup.

The shakes here are still made the old-fashioned way, and you definitely need one while you’re here.
