Shopping in Bryant

As people bustle throughout the Promenade at Chenal's outdoor shopping oasis, RK Collections Boutique stands stoically at its center—a beacon of contemporary apparel, bags, and jewelry. Those who duck inside will be tended to by fashion-forward staff members who provide style consultations to highlight and enhance each customer's individual style with outfits pieced together from a rotating array of designer brands. Since RK Collections stocks only four to six pieces of each handpicked item, shoppers won't have to worry about wearing the same outfits as anyone else in the club or at their graduation ceremony. A fixture of Little Rock's fashion scene since 1985, RK Collections has continually kept its duds up-to-date with the current trends, landing it accolades from the Arkansas Democrat Gazette and Arkansas Times.

Since 1988, owner Rita Hall and Cloverdale Florists’ team of professional florists have banded fresh buds into festive bouquets. Roses and tulips pair with hydrangea, lilies, and orchids in a variety of festive arrangements to celebrate occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, or teeth cleanings. A selection of potted plants blossom within households, and fruit-and-flower gift baskets combine edible and aesthetic pleasure. The colorful petals of customized bridal bouquets, floral cake decorations, centerpieces, and wedding ceremonial flowers can distract guests from the groom’s drooping toupee.

EyeCatching Decor embellishes residential fortresses with a range of accent furniture, artwork, and household accessories. Beneath selections of metal and canvas artwork, signature silk-flower arrangements burst from ornamental vases and an expansive stock of deco mesh ribbon entwines into Christmas wreaths and bows. An assortment of handbags and wallets swings from racks, and the shop’s team of dexterous designers stands by to supply decorating ideas for complementing a room’s minimalist theme or large collection of sasquatch-hair furniture.

After leading the University of Arkansas Cardinals' football team to an epic 16–0 victory against LSU in 1909, coach Hugo Bezdek referred to his players as "a wild band of Razorback hogs." The nickname quickly caught on, and the team has since embraced both the name and the mascot's wild ferocity, as evidenced by a tenacious fighting style and the players' uncanny ability to locate truffles buried in the end zone. With apparel, jewelry, and housewares bearing the legendary helmet hog, The Hog Zone—unaffiliated with the university itself—helps fans and alumni celebrate more than 100 years of UA pigskin tradition. In addition to stocking car decals, earrings, and T-shirts for both kids and adults, The Hog Zone hosts football-themed birthday parties for all complete with games and activities such as learning dances and chants to cheer on the team during physics exams.
