The popular fast-food restaurant chain Chick-fil-A appears headed to a spot in the Pinnacle Hills area of Rogers.
No formal plans have been submitted to the city for the development, which will be adjacent to the Chuy’s and Pei Wei restaurants on Pauline Whitaker Parkway. Chick-fil-A, based in Atlanta, has eight locations in northwest Arkansas, including two in Rogers.
The area has become a popular site for developers for its location across Interstate 49 from the Pinnacle Hills Promenade shopping center. The 10-story Hunt Tower office building recently opened and Wal-Mart opened the Arkansas Music Pavilion in 2014.
Joe Whisenhunt’s Whisenhunt Investment Group of Little Rock is developing a 55-acre lot south of Pauline Whitaker that will include 40,000-SF of retail and a three-building office complex.
Carl Garrett, who owns Table Mesa Bistro in downtown Bentonville, will open a restaurant called Mirabella’s Table in the development, and Smitty’s Garage Burgers & Beer of Norman, Oklahoma, is expected to open its second Arkansas location there as well.
