Just as Five Guys is about to open in Lakewood Village, today's paper says that a second location will open on Chenal Parkway just west of the center where Cold Stone Creamery is. Shame they couldn't have just taken the old Java location, but it'll still be good to have one in WLR. Opening should be next spring.

The Five Guys is open in Lakewood Village!  I've been two days in a row.  It is absolutely incredible.  Is sure to be the best burger/fry place in the metro. IMO

And Chick-fil-a in Pleasant Ridge shopping center opened today.
Now we'll get lunchtime traffic in an already busy stretch of Cantrell (too many stoplights!)

That is a shame.  Five Guys doesn't really take up that much space in Lakewood Village, and the former Java Roasting Co. space would be big enough by that example.

And breakfast traffic to boot (shared with Starbucks at Sam Peck Rd.)!  That A.M. drive-thru at Chick-Fil-A moves mighty quick, though from my experience.

The old Catfish City on Cantrell Rd is being turned into a Buffalo Wild Wings. I'm glad, that is close to me.

I received an email today from "The Melting Pot" stating that the company was soliciting offers for a new franchise in LR.  I've never been to one, but have heard they're quite appealing.

I've been to one and enjoyed it. Not something I'd want to do a lot, but I could see it being successful, at least for a while. Not sure where the best location for it would be.

Construction of another Chick-Fil-A on W. Markham in front of the Home Depot is progressing rapidly!

Looks like we'll finally be getting a Dunkin Donuts by Steinmart in Little Rock...

That's the old Saigon Cuisine. I had heard they had moved out Hwy. 10 to the old Gina's location.

It's interesting that Dunkin Donuts is putting in multiple locations, whereas Krispy Kreme has stayed with their one location for years.

According to the Cheeburger Cheeburger website, there is a second location coming to Little Rock.
