Dubbed the \u201cIndustry of Opportunity\u201d by the National Restaurant Association, American restaurants are the second largest private-sector employer in the country and provide some of the highest job satisfaction rates of any industry. In fact, 9 out of 10 industry workers believe restaurants provide opportunity for those who want to succeed based on their hard work. Plenty of Arkansans are taking advantage of this unrivaled opportunity to both serve our community delicious food and build their own success. Here are three of our favorites:

When you want authentic made-to-order Italian food in Little Rock, you go to Bruno\u2019s \u2013 and that\u2019s been the case since the Bruno family opened their first restaurant in 1949. Though the restaurant location has changed through the years, Bruno\u2019s is now located in Little Rock\u2019s Creative Corridor, taking advantage of the ample number of customer\u2019s who flock to the area for business, entertainment and tourism. The Bruno family also just opened their new Bruno\u2019s Deli next door to the sit down restaurant. The deli offers quick lunch fare that still upholds Bruno\u2019s delicious, authentic Italian standards, as well as a few Italian grocery items.<\/p>\n
You may be hard-pressed to find authentic Brazilian cuisine in central Arkansas, but with Cafe Bossa Nova, this one Brazilian spot is all you need. Dan and Rosalia Monroe use only the freshest ingredients to create delicious, South American comfort food, similar to the homestyle cooking you might find if you visited the country yourself. Like Bruno\u2019s, Caf\u00e9 Bossa Nova has also taken advantage of the opportunity the restaurant industry provides not only by opening their original restaurant, but also through their Brazilain bakery next door, Rosalia\u2019s Family Bakery.<\/p>\n
The Woods family has a long history of building a family legacy in the food industry. More than 30 years ago, the family\u2019s business began when their Uncle Tillman Green decided to open a grocery store in Sunset, Arkansas. The business then moved to Little Rock, where it is located today at the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. and Daisy Gatson Bates. Here, patrons can pick up grocery items, purchase delicious charcuterie trays and enjoy Uncle T\u2019s famous sandwiches. Like the above two establishments, Uncle T\u2019s Deli-Market has also continued to find plenty of business opportunity in the restaurant industry, and will be opening a second location in Conway across from the UCA campus this October.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
