About
City Creek Center sits in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City. This mall is owned and operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Anchored by Macy's and Nordstrom, it also features Tiffany & Co., Michael Kors, and Coach. However, it has a controversial history regarding LGBTQ+ inclusion. Multiple reports describe visitors being asked to leave for visible tattoos or same-sex displays of affection. Additionally, the church donated heavily to support California's same-sex marriage ban. You might prefer nearby The Gateway for a more inclusive shopping experience.
Hours run Monday through Saturday, with extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays until 9pm. The mall is dog friendly. Reviews highlight the upscale brands but also warn about the restrictive environment for queer visitors.

“Absolutely NOT gay-friendly in any way whatsoever”
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints owns and runs this mall. They have made clear what the center is and isn't. It's meant to be a family-friendly shopping center, but that really means it caters to conservative, religious, traditional families. There have been many reported cases, which you can find online, of people being removed for something as minor as a visible tattoo. Holding hands or kissing a same-gender partner is definitely not allowed. Additionally, shopping here supports a church that gave a lot of money to fight same-sex marriage in California. I personally think this location should be taken off GayCities.com.
