The Northwest Arkansas Diversity Resource Guide is dedicated to making sure that all community members from diverse populations have the information and resources they need to both acclimate to the region and take advantage of its rich array of offerings.
As we enter into another new year, it’s important to continue to support small businesses in our local community. These businesses provide jobs, boost the economy and give character to our neighborhoods.
To kick off 2023, we’ve rounded up and added five small businesses that can help you make this year the best one yet. Looking to add a little adventure to your palette? Getting ready to close on a new home? Ready to get active? These businesses have got you covered. We’ve even included some sample New Year’s Resolutions in case you need some (very) last-minute inspiration.
Bites and Bowls
New Year’s Resolution: Eat waffles for breakfast at least twice a week.
Bites and Bowls is a small, family-owned eatery in Springdale. Swing by for some of the most creative waffle dishes you’ve ever tasted, and then come back to try the rest of the menu. Join their loyalty program for even more savings. (Oh, and are you looking for a hearty meal to share with your family at home? Check out their weekly dinner bundles.)
HandyFam
New Year’s Resolution: Clean my carpets with something stronger than my vacuum from 2010.
It’s time to finally do a deep clean. HandyFam offers local cleaning services for your house or business. They were even named as a Nextdoor 2022 Neighborhood Favorite!
