Ricks Bakery coming to Rogers! Such great news as Benton County definitely has a gap in bakeries in the area. https://talkbusiness.net/2017/10/fayetteville-landmark-ricks-bakery-is-expanding-to-rogers/

Yes, some of Rogers is pedestrian friendly (downtown, the mall) but Pleasant Grove and Pinnacle area really are not. We need more 4-5 story buildings with retail on the ground floor. Pinnacle has the potential to be another downtown this area for Rogers if they do it right.

Finally, Rogers is going more pedestrian friendly. Pinnacle area has potential to be more than chain restaurants and strip centers. It looks to be a mixed use development in Pinnacle right in front of the pinnacle country club. I hope to see some new stores to the market. Looks like an upscale hotel is coming in the development along with multi family housing. Maybe finally a Westin, Full Service Marriott, or Full Service Hilton? article: http://talkbusiness.net/2017/09/100-million-new-urban-project-coming-to-pinnacle-hills/

I have heard that AA is has been taking over space intentionally at XNA to block a potential discount airliner from coming in. I don't understand why the board at XNA just pushes back. XNA is losing so many travelers to Tulsa. I'm surprised Walmart hasn't put their foot down and said they demand one for lower prices on Biz travel. All in all, there is no reason our air ticket prices should be as high as they are. And we need a discount airliner pronto!

I am annoyed by that as well. A gas station is very needed right there. I would love to see a gas station and small strip center attached. And of course the city of Fayetteville would screw that up. They have no business sense and no sense running the local government. Boot them out!

Does anyone know what is going on the corner of Mt. Comfort and Shiloh near the Porter Road exit? I know at one time they were planning a gas station, but I thought that fell through. If anyone knows, I would love to know. Thanks!

Look whats coming to Fayetteville. This is a great retailer to have in the mix. http://www.fayettevilleflyer.com/2015/03/06/lululemon-coming-to-downtown-fayetteville/

Great development with some really good restaurants. What is Alumni Hall?

If Rogers does have a height limit, then they should up it. I want to see 20 stories. Every time I go to Dallas, I feel like I'm in a big city. There are many things about Dallas I do not like, such as all the concrete and less green space. But I will say that if we have more vertical buildings, it will give us more of an urban feel. Plus, the more height we build up near Interstate 49, the better is is for transportation and maybe a light rail one day. We have to have density for mass transit to work. Yes, Barber did propose a 22 story building and it fell through since the recession hit. Hopefully, someone will bring this back and do something really nice.

10 stories is a start and glad to see more vertical buildings going up. Next, I would love to see a 15 or 20 story tower. Why not? Many other cities and metros have buildings that tall. I would love to see: 1. Residential Tower/W or Westin Hotel Combo (maybe 20 stories) 2. A full service Marriott Hotel We are in need of more full service hotels similar to Embassy Suites, but would love to see it more vertical.

Sounds like a great project, but 2 houses valued at $1.9MM? That sounds overpriced and too expensive for Fayetteville.

The thing is that Wedington and West Fayetteville is vastly underserved in restaurant and retail amenities on that side of town. If they were to come to the Wedington area near that intersection of Wedington and I-49, it would give people a destination spot for the west side and even attract those on the east side. I live on the West side of Fayetteville and it is very frustrating to have to drive to MLK or the Mall area to go eat, shop, etc. Wedington is getting better with the Walmart Neighborhood Market, Slim Chickens, and a Starbucks (opening soon). That definitely helps, but we are still in need of more restaurants and retail. I personally would love to see Chipotle, a nice Mexican restaurant or tex-mex chain restaurant, Chick-fil-a, maybe a PeiWei, and a Bakery on that side of town.

I hope with Cross Church going there, that they will build a type of lifestyle center around that area, similar to The Scottsdale Center in Rogers. Would be awesome to see a mix of Big Box Stores, Restaurant pads, some apartments or housing, Cross Church, and maybe even a trail that wraps around the area somehow. If I were a student, that would be a fantastic location near the U of A and would have a ton of amenities. We'll see what happens.

I hope they put another Chipotle near Whole Foods in that area. Or a Pei Wei (a fast casual version of PF Changs). I think it would be a perfect area for something of that sort. A chuys would be nice as well, but that may go better near the mall area since you need much more parking for that restaurant.

What I would have liked to see at this site is a mixed use development with 3 to 4 story buildings for residential and office, with retail on the ground. Also a city square, park, and entertainment options with restaurants, etc. That would be a cool young professional, college community that I think would go well there. But just student housing seems like a waste. A huge mixed use development like you see in California or Texas would be so much better. We need more places that are live, work, play in the area. That is a perfect spot for it.
