Sissy’s Log Cabin Breaks Ground on Flagship Store in Little Rock
LITTLE ROCK, AR — In an exciting development for the Mid-South’s jewelry landscape, Sissy’s Log Cabin, the largest family-owned and operated retailer of natural diamonds and fine jewelry in the region, has officially broken ground on its future flagship store in Little Rock. This new location, set to open in the fall of 2026, promises to be the brand’s most expansive and refined store to date.
A Visionary Design
The new flagship store, designed by architect Jesse Balaity—who also crafted the recently opened locations in Memphis and Fort Smith—will encompass approximately 11,300 square feet. Strategically located off North University Avenue, the store will be less than half a mile from the current Heights storefront on North Grant Street. The design aims to blend upscale sophistication with the heritage craftsmanship that has become synonymous with Sissy’s Log Cabin, incorporating elements that pay homage to the company’s iconic log cabin roots.
Commitment to Quality and Service
William Jones, president of Sissy’s Log Cabin, expressed enthusiasm about the new store, stating that it will introduce world-class brands while maintaining the signature service that has defined the brand for years. “Since 2010, Little Rock has been an important part of our company’s story, and this flagship project represents our investment in the city’s future,” Jones remarked. He emphasized that the new store aims to elevate the fine jewelry shopping experience with innovative brands and a modern storefront that remains unmistakably Sissy’s.
Community Support and Attendance
The groundbreaking ceremony was a momentous occasion, attended by Sissy’s customers, staff, and notable figures including founder Sissy Jones, who opened her first store in Pine Bluff in 1970. Little Rock Mayor Frank Scott Jr., Arkansas Lt. Gov. Leslie Rutledge, and representatives from the Little Rock Regional Chamber, RPM Group, and Cline Construction were also present, showcasing the community’s support for this ambitious project.
Bill Jones, CEO of Sissy’s Log Cabin, reflected on the company’s rich history, stating, “Our story began in Arkansas nearly 55 years ago, and every step forward is rooted in the values my mother built this company on: family, trust, and service.” He added that the groundbreaking signifies more than just a construction milestone; it represents a new chapter in their commitment to providing exceptional service, selection, and quality.
Enhancing the Shopping Experience
As construction progresses, Sissy’s Log Cabin is collaborating closely with the City of Little Rock to enhance accessibility and improve traffic flow in the area. This effort aims to ensure a seamless shopping experience for all visitors. Meanwhile, customers can continue to shop at the current Heights location throughout the transition period.
