Stores and restaurants closing in Arkansas
Big changes hit Arkansas this year as several familiar stores and restaurants closed their doors for good. GameStop, Joann Fabrics, Hooters, Walgreens, Starbucks, On the Border, and Forever 21 all shuttered locations across the state, leaving empty storefronts in places like Fayetteville, Little Rock, and Fort Smith. It’s tough seeing these spots go, especially for folks who relied on them for shopping, coffee runs, or family dinners. With more closures expected in 2026, it’s a reminder of how quickly our local landscape can shift. Which closure hit you hardest, and what do you hope fills these empty spaces next?
