Hi all,

Well, we are officially residents of Rogers in a nice apartment complex not too far from the Pinnacle Mall. My husband has been here since last week, and I arrived on Monday (will be flying back to NJ on Friday to get the car and am expected back on Sunday, weather permitting).

In any event, I need some suggestions....I've found the "Neighborhood Market" by WalMart and was wondering if there are any other grocery stores in the area which might have a broader selection and/or fresher produce. We did discover Ivan's for meat, which is great!

I also need suggestions for a hair salon (sorry gentlemen, this one is geared toward the ladies)....I don't care if it's snooty and perhaps considered pricey, as long as it has a good reputation! I'm also willing to travel to Fayetteville if necessary (just giving range of options).

I'm also job hunting....any comments on the job market here? I know the economy everywhere is in the tank, but I was hoping for some anecdotal information from those who may know.

Thanks so much....

Can't help with the hair saloon because we do not live in Rogers, but groceries; I am guessing there is a Harps somewhere near you and if you want to venture up the road a little, try Allens in Bella Vista. It is right off 71 (540) so would not be far for you. Their produce is good, sometimes just as cheap or cheaper than Wal Mart and the store is very friendly. You are not going to find any massive super markets though.

As for work, you may want to start with one of the temp companies if you are looking for office type of work. Otherwise, I would go on line or talke to neighbors when you get situated. Actually the market isn't all that bad here, you might find salaries low though.

Good luck and welcome..

Nita

Welcome to NWA.
Harps is recommended.
Check out Cooks in Rogers for organic food.
Check out East meets West Salon in Fayetteville off Joyce St.
