When the holidays are right around the corner, the holiday gifts are right around the corner too. Literally!
One of the best things about Northwest Arkansas is that small-town shops are at the heart of our communities. In Bentonville, local business is where it all started, so it’s no surprise that we support our neighbors.
If you love where you live, we believe you should shop where you should.
This season, we wanted to highlight some gift ideas that could only come from Bentonville. Because we’re unique here, finding the most interesting gifts for everyone on your list is as easy as strolling through the town square and visiting our local merchants.
