Kansas City area-based The Big Biscuit is still planning to open at 2985 N. College Ave., in the building formerly home to Hardee’s at the Fiesta Square shopping center. Company officials recently confirmed their continued plans to the Flyer.
Locals Terry and Aimee Sims, who operate the Dairy Queen franchises in Northwest Arkansas, have signed on as local franchise owners for the brand.
The Sims heard about Big Biscuit from family in the Kansas City area, according to a press release issued last week.
“They kept telling us we had to try it, so we decided to make the drive one weekend,” said Aimee Sims. “It was so worth it — Terry and I couldn’t stop talking about the food quality, portion sizes, and homestyle menu items. I think we ordered almost one of everything on our first trip.”
