SPRINGDALE, Utah The small crowd cheered as local leaders smashed gold-tipped sledgehammers into the old wood door of a home on Zion Park Boulevard Thursday.

“What we’ve been trying to do for a number of years is to create a more rich and meaningful experience for the visitors who come here,” Greater Zion Convention and Tourism Office Director Kevin Lewis said. “The people that we really want to come here are the ones who will … become contributors to the community versus consumers.”

The company is planning on introducing a beverage subscription program called Sip & Save, which will cost customers $5.99 per month for one tea, coffee, Froster slushy, or Polar Pop fountain drink of their choice every day, CNBC reported.
