St. Joseph Center Farm Store Coming Soon to Breckenridge Village

st-joseph-center-of-arkansasBreckenridge Village continues to grow as a neighborhood destination for food, shopping, and community connection. We are excited to share that St. Joseph Center of Arkansas has announced plans to open a new Farm Store at Breckenridge Village later this year.

The new Farm Store will share a building with The Root Cafe, creating a natural fit for a center that is quickly becoming a hub for locally focused food and community gathering. According to St. Joseph Center, the store will feature locally grown produce, value-added products, and Arkansas-made goods similar to what customers loved at its original farm store.

This announcement comes alongside the successful launch of the West Little Rock Farmers Market, which is held at Breckenridge Village on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon. St. Joseph Center noted that close to 2,000 people attended the market on April 18, a strong sign of the community’s interest in supporting local farmers, makers, and food producers.

For Breckenridge Village, the addition of the Farm Store is another meaningful step in the center’s continued revitalization. The goal has always been to create more than a shopping center. Breckenridge is becoming a place where people can meet friends for a meal, shop local, enjoy events, and feel connected to the community around them.

We are proud to welcome St. Joseph Center of Arkansas to Breckenridge Village and look forward to seeing the Farm Store become part of the center’s growing local food scene.

Dog Days? Pretty Paws!

Breckenridge Village

Is your pooch looking a little unkempt during these “Dog Days” of summer? Well, our newest tenant at Breckenridge Village Shopping Center, Pretty Paws Pet Grooming, can get your fur baby looking and feeling great again. Tabbitha Taber and Dominick Maida opened this boutique pet grooming salon on May 20th of this year.

Tabbitha and Dominick make a great team. She handles all the pups in the front of the shop, while he handles all the biz in the back. Of course, Dominick will often step out of the office to play with a pup or two. Can you blame him?

Tabbitha has been grooming dogs for about seven years, and in spite of the daily occupational hazard of a dog bite, she absolutely loves what she does. She says, “I love all animals!” At home she has four dogs, four cats, and a rabbit.

Tabbitha started her pet grooming journey as a bather at a shop in Bryant and as she observed the groomers, she knew right away that she had found her passion. Anxious to learn, she spent the next year training in Bryant with a groomer who specialized in show poodles. Since then, she has worked at a number of veterinary clinics and grooming salons before the opportunity to open her own place presented itself. One evening the couple was visiting Angie Creal, owner of Axis Salon in Suite A7 of Breckenridge Village when they noticed the “For Lease” sign in the window of the space downstairs. “It just happened to be the perfect size and had some other features which were exactly what I was looking for to open Pretty Paws,” says Tabbitha.

Working with leasing agent, Brooke Miller and property manager, Missy Cherry, Tabbitha and Dominick signed a lease and got to work. The result is a fun, colorful space designed to keep the animals happy and safe. “It’s all about the animals,” she says. Of course, she loves to please her two-legged clients too, but Tabbitha readily admits, “If I didn’t have to have money to live, I would do this [job] for free!”

Pretty Paws is located in Breckenridge Village Shopping Center at 10301 N. Rodney Parham, Suite A3. They are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and are currently offering a 20 percent discount to customers who send a referral. Military and senior citizens (65+) always receive a 10 percent discount.
