Profile Draft
Rocking V Cafe runs out of a 125-year-old brick building on Kanab's Center Street, opened around the turn of the century by Victor Cooper and now operated by a four-person partnership: Dan Potter, Delia Robinson, Sarah Jackson, and Allen Jackson. Robinson runs the kitchen end, Jackson handles the books, and the menu leans slow-food — meats sourced from independent producers, vegetarian options, scratch desserts, and wines that punch above what travelers expect to find in a town of 4,500. The cafe doubles as an art space.
For 435 Alliance, Rocking V is the most-recognized fine-casual independent in Kanab, a key town in the 435 footprint outside the St. George metro.
Unresolved Questions
- Operating LLC and date of the ownership transition from Cooper to the current partnership.
- Whether Cooper retained any equity or transition role.
- Confirm the building's exact construction date (sources say "125-year-old").
