Live.

Love.

Local.

A family dental practice that treats the grandchildren of some of its first customers. A business dedicated to healthy living that started in a garage on Free Ferry Road in Fort Smith in 1959.

A family that serves some of the area’s best coffee alongside a trove of great books. These are just a few of the stories you’ll read on the following pages.

We think you’ll enjoy learning more about the products and services these local businesses

We all know the family that spends thousands of dollars on family vacations that require months of planning, but then they’re over in the blink of an eye.

Invest in a swimming pool to provide those moments of family fun, and you’ll never need to go anywhere else. Call Burton Pools & Spas today – we are your source for backyard fun!

Our family’s vision for Chapters on Main was to take an old bookstore that needed help and make it into a place where people gather, laugh, meet new people, discover new books, and enjoy great coffee! We wanted to bring younger people back to Main Street, which we’ve done. Also, every beverage is custom made, from the grinding of coffee beans to steaming the milk. Our menu includes smoothies, frozen, pour-overs, cold brew, and many others!

Our selection of new books has grown, as have our loyal customers. We host students and business people who frequent Chapters on Main to work or study. Our employees/ baristas go out of their way to make everyone feel at ease, whether their 20th time in or their first.
