Convening in DTR: Every 3^rd Thursday the Rogers Lowell Chamber invites the Downtown Rogers business community to network and gain inspiration from other locally-owned business owners. House 1830 provided the venue for the April 18 gathering where attendees learned about this popular new restaurant and bar that quickly became a destination location for foodies in Downtown Rogers.

A family affair: Attendees met Binh Hoang and his sister-in-law, Chef Be Hoang, and learned how they and their spouses’ entrepreneurial paths led them from separate U.S. coasts to restaurant ownership in Downtown Rogers. The House 1830 team welcomed fellow business owners with their house-made waffles and coffee provided by Iron Horse Coffee Company. Binh shared details of the mid-July Wok & Run, a FUNdraising relay race and cooking competition designed to support the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank and hosted by House 1830 in Downtown Rogers.

Getting Acquainted: After self-introductions by all, Binh shared details of the mid-July Wok & Run, a FUNdraising relay race and cooking competition designed to support the Northwest Arkansas Food Bank and hosted by House 1830 in Downtown Rogers.

Building business: The Downtown Rogers Merchant Meet-Up was created to foster connections, exchange ideas, and explore collaboration opportunities with fellow business owners, managers, and staff in Downtown Rogers.
