Having been around, serving the local Bentonville community for 52 years, the family-owned Fred's Hickory Inn is closing down. However, well-known, local restaurateurs will be taking over and manning the grill.

• Good ol' days: Founded by Fred and Miss Lou in 1970, Fred's Hickory Inn has served Bentonville and the surrounding community for decades. It was well-known for its Ozark southern cooking style. Its last day in operation was Aug 8.
• New ownership: The owners of Table Mesa, Table at the Station, Tavola Trattoria and Mirabella’s Table plan to open up a new restaurant called Table at the Hickory Inn - paying respect to the previous owner and history. The restaurant will temporarily remain closed throughout the transition.
