The Patio to Offer Garden Supplies

Three Bentonville partners plan to open a 4,000-SF retail store for garden lovers.

Scot Hundley with S&S Creative Landscapes LLC and Pinnacle Pools Inc. said The Patio will offer mid- to high-end patio furniture, hot tubs and outdoor/garden fixtures that can’t be bought elsewhere locally because they’re too expensive for retailers to stock.

Scott Eccelston, Hundley’s partner in all three ventures, said many of the offerings are items they currently have to special order for clients, such as giant urns. One urn the two had in their Bentonville office recently was about three feet tall, weighed close to 500 pounds and would cost $300-$600 retail, Hundley said.

Hundley said the store is set to open in mid-May at 2516 S. Walton Blvd. in Bentonville. The pair said a third partner preferred to remain anonymous.
