RUSSELLVILLE & CONWAY Alpha Countertops

Opened in 2006, Alpha Countertops was founded by Lucas and Sheri Moore and Frank Parson, who also owns Springdale’s New Century Countertops. Early on it became clear Lucas was a visionary, striving to be the area’s premier countertop provider. Sadly, he was diagnosed with leukemia in 2010 and passed away in April 2014. Without hesitation, Frank and his wife, Marcella, along with many employees showed their devotion as they stepped up and held Alpha Countertops together during the extremely tough time.

After prayer, consideration, and consulting with Frank, Sheri decided to make her late husband’s goal for the company her own. “This is my everything, and I come in every day and give it 100%. I try to learn and grow. I want us to be the best company we can be. I am so thankful for the employees we have; and I couldn’t do it without them and their dedication to the company,” she says.

Today, Alpha Countertops is flourishing. They have a local reputation as an honest, reputable company with high-quality work and customer satisfaction. They continue to expand, adding both new machinery and employees. In 2019, Alpha Countertops opened a second showroom location in Conway—evidence of their bright future ahead.
