Central Arkansas has several business developments to watch this week, from a familiar toy-store name planning a return to an indoor market helping Arkansas growers sell year-round.

Here are three changes worth knowing about as the October 22 edition of 501 Daily heads into the weekend.

Toys ‘R’ Us plans a Central Arkansas return

A new local report says Toys ‘R’ Us is planning a Central Arkansas location, giving families another retail development to follow ahead of the holidays.

An exact local address and opening date have not been independently confirmed, so shoppers should watch for a formal location announcement.

501 Daily has a separate article with the details currently available: Toys ‘R’ Us Reportedly Plans New Central Arkansas Location.

Little Farm Stop opens at Breckenridge Village

The Little Farm Stop has opened a year-round indoor market at Little Rock’s Breckenridge Village, featuring goods from 51 Arkansas farmers, bakers and makers.

The project is operated by the nonprofit St. Joseph Center of Arkansas and gives local producers a place to connect with customers even when seasonal outdoor markets wind down.

The market is reported to operate Tuesday through Sunday, with current hours best checked before visiting.

Halsey Real Estate strengthens its Little Rock team

Halsey Real Estate has added Charisse Childers to its Little Rock commercial brokerage operation.

Childers brings decades of experience in workforce policy, economic development and work with Arkansas employers, adding expertise as the firm grows its presence in the capital region.

The separate 501 Daily article, Halsey Real Estate Adds Workforce Development Leader to Little Rock Team, explores the appointment and its business context.

One more thing

This week's confirmed developments are primarily openings, expansion and staffing changes, rather than closures.

We have not identified a new significant local closing that merits inclusion, so this edition focuses on openings and changes.
