River Market departures haven't created panic

Arkansas Business, Jan 27, 2003 by Mark Friedman

"It's hard to pull money out of your pocket every month just to break even -- you can only do that so long," Patel said.

But he was looking at the River Market as a long-term investment.

Gomez said business owners need to be smart and not flood the street with bars.

"How many can a city of this size support?" he said.

Gomez said the River Market is in a transition period, and maybe the retail stores came too early.

Moses also said the transformation of the River Market will move slowly.

"We're only a few years deep into it. It's going to take several more years before the River Market is all we want it to be," he said.
