Cornerstone Market Place — Local services in Hot Springs

As a local business owner let me say one thing. Let's support our businesses here better. I am guilty. I had a bad dinner at a local steakhouse and wrote a bad review based on one single visit. I usually go back a few days later as long as a manager or someone responded to it and just erase it. Give them a second chance. It's not just restaurants, it's every type of business.

Any of you noticed that some of these places are closing down. That restaurant I gave a bad review to is now closed. I hate it because it was the closest steakhouse to my home and they were good 6 out of 10 times. For the small amount of choices we have I'm going to do better with my reviews. I wish everyone would give it some thought before hastily tossing a review. Especially if there's someone there that actually cares and notices and willing to do something about it.

The entrance and exit lanes are separate single lanes. Because you may have to cross both lanes to reach the other side, heavy cross traffic makes that a challenge. Lots of new popular businesses draws a fair amount of traffic. During high traffic times just be patient and it will be fine. Enjoy your time and keep Hot Springs green! Spend...

It has some of my favorite places to browse or visit. Traffic gets kind of congestive, but every business in the Cornerstone marketplace is friendly and keeps you returning. Some of the stores include Belk, Books•A•Million, Lowes, Shoe Carnival, TjMaxx, Old Navy, Sally's Beauty, and they have furniture stores and beauty stores, even a tanning salon (Sun Seekers), places to eat or get ice cream with one of my favorites, San Francisco Bread Company. Enjoy a day just browsing or shopping and then a snack or mid day meal in this warm environment. They close most stores here around 9 pm, and then it's a ghost...
