They need a Sams Club in the Benton-Bryant area. Any news?
They should make a bank of America in benton so I don’t have to go all the way to Little Rock!
I’d like to c Ross,stage,stein mart,belks in the Benton/ Bryant area
Didn’t someone say Harbor Freight was coming to Benton/Bryant soon? I swear I heard that not too long ago. I wish it would! Of course, that would be the end of my bank account, but still.
Ooooo! I just answered my own question by going to the Harbor Freight website and looking for Upcoming Stores! It says coming soon to Military Rd. where JC Penny used to be! (Next to Big Lots)
Don’t tell my wife. She’ll make Military Rd. off limits for me.
If you search this site, we did a story on Harbor Freight in March or April.
I would love to see a Jo-Ann Fabrics open in Benton.
Yes!!! Then I would never have to go to Little Rock
Anyone know when hobby lobby will be open for hiring??
Any more word on the shopping center that was to be built at the traskwood exit off i30
Flowers and Home next to Maurice’s ?
I would like to know what happened with all the restaurants that were supposed to open around Kroger Marketplace? There was supposed to be a Chuy’s, Jason’s Deli and etc.
I really was wanting a big Mexican place like On The Border or Chuy’s.
Wishing Benton or Bryant could entice Paneras out this way. As for the Shoppes of Benton… there are only two or three stores I’m waiting to open.
It would be nice if you would contact Golden Corral also to see if they would be interested in opening up in the Bryant/Benton area also. I feel that would bring in a lot of business into the area.
If you want them here, you should contact them through their webpage.
Ulta will not be opening June 16th. Projected open date is Aug. 18th. Can’t wait!!!
Yeah I drove by there last night and no shelves.
When will people be able to apply for these jobs?
Still no Olive Garden? Boooooo
Contact Olive Garden to let them know about all the great properties where they could locate! At the Shoppes of Benton or at Hurricane Creek Village (in front of Kroger & Academy) or at the piece of land across Shenandoah/Congo from Big Red Valero. There’s also a new shopping strip going in next to Ashley Furniture in Bryant and land available next to it.
I believe the home company that owns Olive Garden and a bunch of other restaurants is Dardens Inc. Surely they have a web page contact where we can send them a request to open a store here in Saline County
