Every summer, hundreds of Walmart summer interns descend upon Bentonville for 12 weeks (as well as for other companies, I'm sure). I imagine that many of them use bikes to get around during that time. Does anyone know of any existing programs or systems that allow these interns to borrow bikes and return them at the end of the summer? I was thinking of buying an inexpensive Walmart bike and getting rid of it somehow at the end of the summer, but that just seems like such an unnecessary waste, and the thought of hundreds of people doing that every summer makes me think that there might be some existing programs that I'm not aware of.

Hi! I just got my rebate for a standard bike. Two questions, what places do you recommend for getting decently priced bikes in Bentonville? Does anyone know if it’s possible to change my rebate from standard to cargo bike? I went through a lot of research and I feel a cargo bike would be better (rebate quantity also changes)

Thanks!

I’m in town for a conference in a week or so and saw that Bentonville has a large Indian population. Would love to try some Indian food during my time there. Any recommendations from locals?

Where i’m from, there’s mostly Northern Indian food. Is there variety in Bentonville? Such as some southern indian spots?

Thanks!

Edit: Thank you all! I will be sure to check out some of these spots!!

Hi everyone,

My spouse and I are looking to buy our first home in the Bentonville/Centerton area. We're looking for new construction and our budget is firm around $250k.

We’ve narrowed it down to two very different communities and would love some local insight from anyone living there or who has dealt with these builders recently.

Option 1: Featherston West (Schuber Mitchell Homes)

The Vibe: Single-family "bungalows," decent community feel with a park/playground.

The Good: We’ve heard Schuber has a slightly better reputation for build quality and customer service in NWA compared to the big national builders.

The Bad: The houses are small (~1250 sqft) and no garage. The backyard is basically non-existent.

Option 2: Hope Hill (Rausch-Coleman & Lennar)

The Vibe: Townhouses/Paired homes.

The Good: Much bigger (~1600 sqft), includes a garage, and a decent backyard for a townhouse.

The Bad: It’s a townhouse (shared wall), and we’ve read mixed-to-negative reviews about the builder reputation and "cookie-cutter" quality control. No real community amenities.

Questions for the sub:

• For those in Featherston West: How do you handle the lack of a garage? Is the community park worth the trade-off in house size?

• For those in Hope Hill: How is the build quality? Do you hear your neighbors through the shared walls?

• Generally, which builder has been easier to work with regarding warranty repairs after closing?

We’re also open to other suggestions in the $250k range if there’s a hidden gem we’re missing. Thanks in advance!

Hi all, looking to picnic somewhere on the shores of Beaver Lake this weekend. Last weekend we stopped at the boat ramp just before the highway 12 bridge going over the lake but we're hoping for something just a touch further from the road. Don't mind driving around the lake for a better spot but also not looking to hike to a beach. TYIA and have a beautiful weekend y'all!

Is there any in the area? Looking for one in NWA

I’m 31 and want to start learning a striking sport (boxing, Muay Thai, or MMA). I have zero experience in combat sports, but I lift regularly and have a solid fitness base.

I’m based around Bentonville/Rogers/Centerton and trying to find a good beginner-friendly gym. Most of what I’m seeing is in Springdale/Fayetteville, so would prefer something closer if possible.

A couple questions:

•Any gym recommendations in this area?

•Do gyms here typically take adults with no experience?

Main goals are learning proper technique, improving conditioning, and staying consistent.

Neighborhood is still being constructed which is a drawback and getting to WMHO isn’t the easiest, but anyone else have experiences with that neighborhood?

$120/mo is steeper than the trails they built, bro wtf I’m scared to see pricing on the day passes

Since we all hate the Barber so much (sucks so hard), we should all start going there all the time to “reclaim” it. Once we have dominated it, all of the regular patrons (losers) would leave, and it would basically turn BACK INTO the Dive.

Basically the biggest payback move imaginable.

Does anyone know of a business that offers knife sharpening services in Bentonville?

How much of the Walmart campus is open to the public? I heard rumors you can’t eat at some restaurants without a badge. Can anyone confirm or deny? What about the Greenway through there too? Is that guaranteed to remain open to the public? I want to bike tour the campus and grab lunch but won’t waste my time if it’s not public friendly.

Is the owner of this bar constantly making posts in this sub about how cool the bar seems? I don’t get the hype of it personally

Hey Folks, will be moving from bville to bella vista in June. Do you have any good recs for local movers?

Anyone trying to go for happy hour today?

Like the title says. Does anyone know?

I can’t imagine there not being path to get to the bike park from the greenway. But that means the bikes will have to cross 71.

There is no way they can make a crosswalk at that intersection, it would back up traffic so bad. Maybe a bridge or an underground tunnel?

Anybody know of anyone hiring for daytime hours?More Centerton side but willing to go a little ways into Bentonville. I’m on indeed but not everybody posts their jobs there. Also, I don’t have enough days clothes to work a job that doesn’t have uniforms. I’m very good with customer service. I appreciate everyone in advance.

Should not have made a right turn off street at 5pm!!Timing is everything.
