Readthrough summary

Archie's Sandwichery, which opened at 280 N. Walton Blvd. in Bentonville in June 2025, is expanding to Fayetteville. Owner Kevin Girkins announced in a social media video that he has signed a lease in the South School strip redevelopment.

That project along South School Avenue includes the former Dollar General building at 1221 S. School Ave. and the former Big Al's Pawn Shop next door, and it will also house a new Fossil Cove Brewing Co. location.

"It's happening a lot sooner than we anticipated, which is awesome," Girkins said. He is targeting summer 2027, with July as the ideal date if construction goes to plan.

The fast-casual shop serves stacked hot and cold sandwiches on Italian bread from Ozark Natural Breads, plus salads, sides, desserts, beer and cocktails. It is named after Girkins' dog, Archer.
