Multi-purpose 'gathering space' planned at Northwest Arkansas food hub

A multi-purpose “gathering space” for dining, working and playing is planned in Northwest Arkansas.

The Holler, a concept of Ropeswing Hospitality Group, will open this summer in the 8th Street Market in Bentonville, according to a news release.

The 10,000-square-foot space will feature high-speed Internet and coffee as well as dining and recreation areas, the company said. Live music is also planned.

“We were eager to develop a concept that moves away from a traditional restaurant or cafe experience and leans into a local hangout that is unique to Bentonville,” Ropeswing Hospitality Group founder Rob Apple said in a statement.
