Brothers Todd and Terry White found “the ideal place” for a sixth Arkansas franchise
Through their family-run companies Relentless Restaurants LLC and Dubberly LLC, brothers Todd and Terry White have operated Newk’s Eatery locations throughout Arkansas and one in Oklahoma for years. Since 2014, their companies have opened locations in Fayetteville, Rogers, Tahlequah, Benton and Ft. Smith – and now, they’re celebrating the grand opening of their newest location in Bentonville, Ark., on Monday, Feb. 12.
Located at 1500 SE Eagles Way in Bentonville, across the road from NorthWest Arkansas Community College, this Newk’s Eatery is the 98th restaurant systemwide.
The Opening Day event will kick off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11 a.m., featuring Greater Bentonville Area Chamber of Commerce representatives. The first 50 guests in line will get a free slice of Newk’s famous made-from-scratch cake.
“Bentonville is a rapidly growing city, and we feel like it’s the ideal place to expand the Newk’s brand,” said Todd White, who serves as Chief Operating Officer of the companies alongside Terry, who serves as CEO. “Our goal is to saturate the North West Arkansas market and create a strong brand recognition. As owners, we love to see the excitement each new location brings to its respective area. We are eager to provide the community of Bentonville with great service and satisfaction.”
The operating hours for this Newk’s location are 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day.
