Springfield Missouri franchisee, James Tillman and his team, have had great success with the opening of the Florida based chain First Watch in Springfield Missouri.  Because of the popularity of this chain, it made sense to Tillman and his team to open a location in northwest Arkansas.  The project consisted of re-purposing an existing restaurant into the First Watch concept.  While the building form stayed pretty much the same, the existing exterior finishes have been either replaced or repainted to fit into the company model.
