1. Brand New Whole Foods

It’s official, folks. We’ve now received confirmation that a brand new Whole Foods is coming to the Pinnacle Hills area of Rogers. And let’s just say the excitement is palpable.

Now, you may be thinking, “But wait, isn’t there already a Whole Foods in Fayetteville?” And you’d be right. But let’s be honest, the location isn’t exactly prime real estate. But this new one? It’ll be right off 49, making it easy to access for all.

But why Pinnacle Hills? Well, it’s simple. Pinnacle Hills is an upscale area of Rogers and really the upscale neighborhood of northwest Arkansas. So it makes sense that a store like Whole Foods would set up shop there. Plus, with all the other fantastic developments happening in Pinnacle Hills as part of the $2 billion build-out, this new Whole Foods is just the cherry on top of an already delicious sundae.

This new Whole Foods store will not only bring the convenience of a high-end grocery store, but it’ll also bring a wide range of organic and natural products to the community, as well as a variety of prepared foods, a bakery, and a deli. Whole Foods is known for its commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing, so it’ll be a great addition to the Pinnacle Hills area and the community as a whole

2. Texas de Brazil (and Unlimited Meat!)

Hold on to your hats, meat lovers, because the legendary Texas de Brazil is coming to Pinnacle Hills! If you haven’t had the pleasure of dining at one of their locations, let me give you the rundown.

The concept at Texas de Brazil is simple yet mouth-watering: unlimited meat. That’s right, you heard me correctly. Unlimited. Meat. They bring it to your table, freshly carved, and you can have as much as your stomach can handle. The options are endless, from succulent cuts of beef and pork to delectable chicken and sausage.

Now, you may be thinking, “But why is it a must-visit?” Well, let me tell you. Not only do they have an extensive meat selection, but they also have a delicious salad bar (but don’t fall for the trap of filling up too much on salad before you get to the best part!)

Overall, it’s a great place to go with friends and family or even for a business meeting. The atmosphere is lively, and the service is excellent. So don’t miss out on the opportunity to have an unlimited meat feast when it finally arrives.
