The food court at Pinnacle Promenade Mall in Rogers recently closed after several years of failing to keep food service tenants in place as dozens of eateries cropped up around the mall’s perimeter.
The 27,000 square-foot building has had more use hosting special events, Santa in front of the fireplace and headquarters for numerous 5k charity race events which has mall management mulling the future possibilities of this prime retail space.
“We are in negotiations with a retailer for about 20,000 square feet of the space. I would like to keep the other 7,000 square feet for a small event room and we want to retain the fireplace for Santa visits,” said David Faulkner, general manager for the Pinnacle Hills Promenade Mall.
The open-air shopping venue features several restaurants within its other buildings as well as snack options from cookies, ice cream, candy and pretzel shops.
Faulkner said the earliest a new retailer could open within the space is likely the fall given the needed renovation. He said large charity events could possibly be moved outside in event tents, heated and cooled as necessary.
