Pavilion in the Park is an upscale shopping center in the northern part of Little Rock, Arkansas, along western Cantrell Road. Built in 1985 in the style of a European enclosed shopping area, the shopping center is notable as much for its upscale content as for many such retailers being locally owned and operated. Some tenants carry a long legacy in the city, such as Bauman's Men's Store, which opened downtown in 1919, and Trio's Restaurant, which has menu influences from the former Sam Peck Hotel, another one-time downtown fixture. Despite such high reputations, the shopping center itself has had only limited success, with occupancy reaching 75% by 1991.
Pavilion in the Park was owned by Bailey Properties but was sold in 1998 when their focus shifted to real estate rather than commercial property. The shopping center is currently managed by Colliers Dickson Flake Partners.
Famous quotes containing the word park:
“The label of liberalism is hardly a sentence to public igominy: otherwise Bruce Springsteen would still be rehabilitating used Cadillacs in Asbury Park and Jane Fonda, for all we know, would be just another overweight housewife.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
