Description: The Oark General Store, which holds a place on the Arkansas Register of Historic Places, first opened its doors in 1890 to meet the demand for groceries and provisions in the secluded Oark community, located in the northern part of Johnson County. Since its inception, the store has faithfully served the region, earning the prestigious distinction of being the longest continuously-operated store in Arkansas. Nestled within the rural enclave of Oark, surrounded by the beauty of the Ozark National Forest, the area boasts access to a wealth of natural wonders. These include the Mulberry River, designated as a National Wild and Scenic River; the Ozark Highlands Trail, a breathtaking 200-mile route perfect for day hikes and camping; and an extensive network of off-road trails that beckon outdoor enthusiasts, including the renowned Trans-America Trail. In recent times, the Oark General Store has become an enticing stopover for travelers, whether traversing the winding and scenic Ozark highways by car or exploring the region on off-road adventures. The store has evolved beyond its original role as a provider of groceries and supplies to become a full-fledged restaurant, where quality, fresh ingredients are prepared with a warm smile. It offers a truly unique "drive-to-eat" experience that's a must-try for everyone.
