Bentonville is stealing the show as the cultural capital of NWA from Fayetteville.


This is true, but its damned hard to compete with people worth literally hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars.

The Walton Family has really been pushing stuff in Bentonville for the past 5-6 years. They could put another Billion dollar amenity in downtown Bentonville and not even notice the money. All of it is good for the whole region, although I must say I am getting jelly as hell.

Off Topic but Shaq is in town for some reason.

My buddy drove him around the other night.

Yeah, I'm all for the regional vision and such... but it does get hard to see one cool thing after another go in up there.

That being said, we're looking at milking that cash cow and opening a second store up there.

Much of the growth is due to that rule Walmart started a few years ago where vendors had to build a satellite headquarters in NWA. A lot of people have moved here because of it.
