Harps Food Stores announces grand opening date of remodeled store in Morrilton, Arkansas

Harps Food Stores, Inc. will host a grand opening of its newly remodeled grocery store in Morrilton, Arkansas, on May 17, the Springdale, Arkansas-based grocery retailer announced on Monday.

The 25,723-square-foot store will be located at 1626 E. Harding Street, which was formerly a Kroger supermarket, the grocer said.

“We are thrilled to be opening our new store in Morrilton,” said Kim Eskew, CEO of Harps Food Stores, in a statement. “Our team has worked hard to create a store that will meet the needs of local customers and we look forward to providing exceptional service and quality products to our customers.”

The new store, which has undergone an extensive renovation, will feature an updated interior as well as online ordering and a curbside pickup option.

Shoppers at the revamped store will have access to a variety of produce, Harps Black Angus beef, a wide selection of all-natural pork and poultry, deli and signature bakery products, as well as well-stocked grocery, health and beauty care, dairy and frozen departments. The store will be open to the public daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Last month, the grocery retailer held a grand opening of its newly remodeled grocery store in Jay, Oklahoma. The 25,000-square-foot store is at 1107 South Main Street, which was formerly a Walmart.
