Provo's BYU-Driven Market
Provo is home to Brigham Young University and is the heart of the Utah Valley — one of the fastest-growing regions in the United States. The university creates a large academic community with distinctive characteristics: BYU's honor code and the predominant LDS community culture create a family-oriented community with specific values around pet ownership and professional services.
The professional walking market in Provo is driven primarily by faculty, staff, and non-student professionals in the community. The tech sector in Utah Valley — which includes Qualtrics and dozens of other software companies — adds a professional class with urban service expectations that is elevating the market.
