Retail is the heartbeat of Arkansas communities!

Across the state, 40,962 retail establishments support nearly 467,000 jobs — that’s friends, family, and neighbors whose livelihoods depend on a thriving retail industry.

From small businesses to larger stores, retailers fuel our local economies, create opportunity, and keep Arkansas strong.
