In addition to the 80 homes Ralph O. and Elizabeth Walker of Rogers are building in Bentonville’s Centerpoint Subdivision, the couple is building a grocery store and a new office building on Arkansas Highway 102 in Centerton.
Through their companies Walker & Associates Real Estate and Allen Ralph & Carl Construction Co. of Centerton, the Walkers are building the $1.75 million grocery for Barry Cooksey of Bentonville, former owner of the defunct Barry’s IGA.
The 21,000-SF store will occupy a little more than one acre of space and feature a deli and bakery.
The Walkers’ $600,000, 14,000-SF office building will be the future home of Walker Real Estate. Financing for the project is being handled by People’s Bank, and First Security Bank is financing the grocery.
A branch of the Bank of Bentonville and a Dollar General Store are going in across the street from the Walkers’ new offices.
