Local Business Feature: Northwest Nutrition & Energy

It’s no secret that small businesses have been through it over the last several months. The pandemic hit them hard and they still need our support to bounce back from some challenging times. I’m so happy to share that even in these tough times, Northwest Arkansas is home to an exciting new business!

The sweet owners of Northwest Nutrition & Energy reached out to me and I was thrilled to hear what that have to offer to the community. I stopped in to their location at Village on the Creeks in Rogers, and had a great experience. The atmosphere was so inviting, the owners were so kind and friendly, and the variety of nutritional drinks was awesome. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to order, so they took the time to explain the options and helped me find just the right thing for me.

They have drinks you’ll love whether you are looking for a meal replacement full of protein or a delicious tea with some energy to get you through a long day. When I asked them what they loved most about their business, Jarrett and Kayle Scott said “We call our business a Nutrition Club! We take pride in our inviting atmosphere, encouraging wellness coaching, and great product. When you come into our nutrition club you can expect to leave happier and healthier!” The Scotts actually started out as customers and loved it so much they decided to get into the nutrition business and chase their own dream.

Another special thing about Northwest Nutrition & Energy is that they love giving back to the community. Check out their Facebook and Instagram pages for special deals each week. My favorite happens to be Teacher Tuesday, when all my fellow teachers out there can enjoy a great discount. Right now you can even place and order for delivery! See their social media pages for details.

If you are looking to get focused on your nutrition, love to try new healthy options, or just enjoy supporting small businesses then swing by Northwest Nutrition & Energy to meet Jarrett and Kayle and grab a delicious, healthy treat!

5 Reasons to Visit Bentonville Mercantile

A few months ago I accidentally discovered the neatest little shop in Downtown Bentonville. My kids and I wandered around Bentonville Mercantile for half and hour and left with the coolest treasures. With the holidays coming up, it’s the perfect time to head downtown and check out this unique, local business.

  1. The first reason to visit Bentonville Mercantile is to support local makers. The store sells items made by people all across Northwest Arkansas. These makers don’t have to wait until the next craft show to sell their items because they can place them in the shop year-round.
  2. You never know what you might find in the shop.  New items are added all the time. Some items are even handcrafted, one-of-a-kind items so it’s the perfect place to shop if you’re looking for a unique gift or just something fun for yourself. You can find everything from t-shirts to snack items like gourmet popcorn, coffee, and beef jerky all made right here in Northwest Arkansas.
  3. Some items can even be personalized. They currently have some Christmas ornaments made by a local mom who can specialize one to be the perfect fit for a gift, or for your family.
  4. The location is super fun! You’ll find the Bentonville Mercantile just one block off of the square. You can swing by the shop after dining at one of the unique downtown restaurants, or when you finish up ice skating at Lawrence Plaza.
  5. Shopping at Bentonville Mercantile helps to support people who truly care about Northwest Arkansas. The owners have created a space for the wonderful makers in our area to proudly display and sell their creations. How exciting is it to be able to support our local community while scoring some of the most creative and unique items at the same time?

Head on over to the Bentonville Mercantile soon, and be sure to let us all know what cool stuff you find!
