Jersey Mike’s Continues Expansion in Little Rock with New Location on Chenal Parkway

Posted on 10/22/24

Jersey Mike's

We’re excited to announce the recent opening of a new Jersey Mike’s Subs location at 12319 Chenal Pkwy, Suite B, Little Rock, AR 72211, further expanding this beloved sandwich brand in the Little Rock area. The new store marks another milestone for the local franchise owner, who, along with his wife, moved to Arkansas from Chicago four years ago to pursue their dream of owning a lake house and becoming a part of the Arkansas community. Now based in Cabot, they’ve opened eight Jersey Mike’s locations, with plans for four more in the near future.

Jersey Mike’s stands out for its commitment to freshness. As the franchise owner explains, “Bread is baked fresh daily, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions are prepared fresh, and all cold subs are sliced in front of the customer. Hot subs are grilled fresh and made to order—all done with great store teams.” Jersey Mike’s also shines through its community involvement, with grand openings always supporting local charities and an annual “Day of Giving” on the last Wednesday of each March, where 100% of sales are donated to a chosen cause. Last year, over $125,000 was raised for Arkansas Children’s Foundation!

When it comes to subs, the most popular cold sub is the Number 13 (The Italian), while the Number 17 (Mike’s Famous Philly) leads the way for hot subs.

Working with Kelley Commercial Partners and Brooke Miller has been a vital part of their success. “Brooke has almost single-handedly laid the market, found great sites, and helped get landlords on board with great deals. This growth does not happen without her.”

We’re proud to have played a role in bringing Jersey Mike’s to more locations in Arkansas and look forward to seeing the continued success of this outstanding franchise.

Vivaldi Music Academy Plans First Location in Arkansas

Posted on 03/30/23

The Renowned Vivaldi Music Academy is opening in Little Rock – celebrating 10 years and seven locations.

Kelley Commercial Partners is proud to announce the imminent arrival of the largest music school in the United States, Vivaldi Music Academy, to the Bowman Curve Shopping Center in Little Rock, Ark. Vivaldi Music Academy, a renowned music school that offers personalized music education for children and adults, will open its newest school later this fall.

This is a big win not only for music enthusiasts but also significant for the Bowman Curve Shopping Center and the surrounding businesses. The retail center is already a hub of activity in the area, with a range of shops, restaurants, and services. The addition of Vivaldi Music Academy to the mix adds a new dimension to the center, attracting new, affluent customers and creating more foot traffic. As students attend their music lessons, their parents and guardians may spend time in the shopping center, shopping, dining, or running errands.

Vivaldi Music Academy Coming to Bowman Curve Shopping Center This Fall

Founded in 2013, Vivaldi Music Academy has quickly become recognized as the fast growing music schools in the country, with five locations in Houston, Tex., and San Antonio, Tex.,. The academy offers private and group music lessons in a range of instruments, including piano, guitar, violin, cello, drums, and voice, among others. The school prides itself on its personalized approach to music education, tailoring lessons to the individual needs and goals of each student.

Kelley Commercial Partners is thrilled to have been a part of the team that brought this new tenant to Bowman Curve Shopping Center. We are committed to supporting and fostering growth in Central Arkansas, and the arrival of Vivaldi Music Academy is an excellent step towards that goal. We look forward to seeing the positive impact the academy will make in the community and are excited to see what the future holds for Bowman Curve.
