Sissy’s Log Cabin, a family-owned and operated jewelry store, broke ground this week on its future flagship store in Little Rock.
The store, located off North University Avenue, is slated to open in fall 2026.
Founded in 1970 in Pine Bluff, Sissy’s has seven locations across Arkansas and Tennessee.
It’s “the Mid-South’s largest family-owned and-operated retailer of natural diamonds, jewelry, estate pieces, and fine gifts,” according to a news release.
Independent reporting for Pine Bluff & Jefferson County since 1879.
“Designed by architect Jesse Balaity, the visionary talent behind the recently opened Memphis and Fort Smith locations, the state-of-the-art space will span approximately 11,300 square feet. The store will be less than half a mile from the current Heights storefront on North Grant Street, and it will blend upscale sophistication with heritage craftsmanship, incorporating design elements that pay tribute to the company’s iconic log cabin roots,” according to the release.
William Jones, president of Sissy’s Log Cabin, shared that the store will introduce new world-class brands combined with the signature service for which the brand is known.
“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. With this new store, we’re raising the bar for fine jewelry shopping with new brands, new experiences, and a storefront that’s both modern and unmistakably Sissy’s,” Jones said.
Sissy’s customers and staff, including founder Sissy Jones, attended the ground breaking, along with Little Rock Mayor Frank Scott Jr., Arkansas Lt. Gov. Leslie Rutledge and representatives from the Little Rock Regional Chamber, RPM Group and Cline Construction.
“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,” said Bill Jones, CEO of Sissy’s Log Cabin.
“This ground breaking is more than a construction milestone. It’s an exciting new chapter that represents our promise to provide exceptional service, selection, experience, and quality, because at Sissy’s, we believe our clients deserve the extraordinary.”
