Detours of Business #29: The Ouachitas

In this episode, I sit down with Mr. Derek Campbell of The Ouachitas in Mena, Arkansas. The Ouachitas started out with Derek’s idea for a little coffee shop, but is now the hub of entertainment in Mena. When the town of Mena and the State of Arkansas began changing the long standing dry county regulations, The Ouachitas started up the first dry county microbrewery in the state. As more opportunities presented themselves, Derek and The Ouchaitas grew to fit them.
