We’re excited to celebrate local talent! Michael Garner, from right here in our area, recently earned a Golden Ticket on American Idol, sending him on to Hollywood week where he advanced to the Golden Room after his performance. As he continues his journey on the national stage, join us in congratulating Michael on this incredible achievement. We’re so proud to cheer him on every step of the way!
Jack’s Coming to Forrest City This Summer!
We’re excited to welcome Jack’s to Forrest City!
After opening their first Arkansas location in Harrisburg last year, Jack’s is continuing to grow across the state — and Forrest City stood out because of its strong sense of community and pride. The team shared that they are excited to become part of our community, serve local families, and create a place where people can connect over Southern favorites.
Guests can expect the full Jack’s experience — from Southern staples served all day to a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like home. The menu will feature favorites like hand-breaded fried chicken, made-to-order burgers, and hand-dipped milkshakes.
The new restaurant will showcase Jack’s “Southern Charm” design, including:
•
Round tables for gathering
•
A cozy fireplace
•
A window where guests can watch biscuits made fresh daily
It’s a space designed to bring people together over great food and genuine hospitality.
Jack’s is tentatively planning to open its Forrest City location this summer.
Mark your calendars for the Community Easter Egg Hunt on March 28, 2026, at the Forrest City Sports Complex! Hosted by Connect.Point Church’s The Unity Project, this fun-filled event will include food, vendors, bounce houses, age-divided egg hunts, and more. It’s a day full of family fun!
Be sure to stop by the Chamber’s table to say hi and grab your little one some bubbles. We can’t wait to see you there!
