Transformation in Ogden's Riverbend: Construction and Restaurant Closures Shape the Area

The Riverbend area in Ogden, Utah, is undergoing significant changes with the closure of two restaurants, Dirty Bird and Wimpy & Fritz, and the construction of new townhomes. The closure of Wimpy & Fritz was announced by the operators on Facebook, citing the end of their lease and a desire to prioritize their families. The area, named by city planners, is seeing development by Lotus Co., including a 41-townhome project and an apartment complex. The Ogden Beer Co., operated by the same individuals behind Wimpy & Fritz, remains open and optimistic about its beer prospects in the area.
