"It's a testament to the positive business climate in Arkansas and the South, and I look forward to supporting CapRocq Core's first-class, contemporary team as they build meaningful value for our investors."

New Medical Clinic to Open in Village on the Creeks

The new year will bring a new medical clinic to Village on the Creeks.

Dr. Caleb Gaston, MD, will open the APEX Family Medical Practice on Jan. 2, 2013, at 5206 Village Parkway, Suite 10. The clinic will employ five people initially and offer on-site lab work and x-ray services.

Dr. Gaston is an independent physician who can refer to any of the area hospitals, according to his wife and office manager, Joy Gaston. He has practiced the past two years at a Northwest Medical clinic in Springdale. Prior to that, he practiced at a clinic in his hometown of Mountain Home for seven years. He will see patients ages two and up.

Mrs. Gaston said they looked at many locations in Rogers before deciding on Village on the Creeks.

“We picked Village on the Creeks because of easy access to the interstate, plentiful parking, easy in-and-out access and it’s in a growing area with lots of activity. We also wanted something that was not a high-rise so our patients would not have to deal with stairs and elevators. Overall, it’s a perfect space,” she said.

Joining the Gastons at the clinic will be an LPN, a X-ray/lab technician and a receptionist. Mrs. Gaston said they leased the space with the idea of adding more physicians as the practice grows.

Alan W. Cole, principal at Colliers International in Bentonville, is the exclusive tenant representative for The Egg & I in Arkansas, and assisted site selection and lease negotiations.

Devereux Management Company, Village on the Creeks' onsite management team, will oversee the project improvements to the space that has visibility from both 52nd Street and Interstate 540. "We are delighted about our newest restaurant that will be a unique offering in the Pinnacle Hills area," said Leslie Logan, Director of Marketing.

"We are very excited about opening our second The Egg & I Restaurant in Arkansas," said Kevin Roberts, president of The Egg of Rogers, LLC.  "We expect our new location to duplicate the same community support and brand loyalty we've enjoyed since opening our first restaurant in Fort Smith in December 2011."

Private meeting rooms are available at most locations.
