PRAIRIE GROVE -- Harton's Furniture For Less is one of the newest businesses in Prairie Grove along East Heritage Parkway or U.S. 62.

The store, owned by Terry Harton, opened Oct. 6 and is located in a 5,100-square-foot building at 3340 E. Heritage Parkway.

The store carries name-brand furniture and has sofas, living room sets, recliners, mattresses, rustic wood furniture, end tables and coffee tables. Customers can purchase furniture from the floor or special order. Delivery is available.

Harton had been in the furniture business in south Arkansas since 1998 when he sold his business and he and his family moved to Prairie Grove.

He purchased two acres along the highway, with plans to develop the land, though he did not know at the time what he wanted to do with it.

He liked the growth potential of the land on the highway and also he and his wife liked the small-town atmosphere of Prairie Grove. His daughter attends Prairie Grove High School and loves the school, he said.

Within 60-90 days of selling his furniture store, Harton said he knew he would go back into the business because he missed it so much.

Business has been great since the furniture store opened in October.

"There's been a lot of traffic through the door. We're very, very happy with it," Harton said.

He added that he's been a little surprised at the walk-in traffic and his vendors told him his store was not big enough. They may have been right, he said, but noted, he wanted to open a simple store, not a large one.

Harton encouraged customers to compare his prices with those of larger furniture stores in the region.

"We're going to try to have the lowest prices in Northwest Arkansas," Harton said.
