About us

Bentonville, Arkansas, once a sleepy little town located in the heart of the Ozarks, is now a city exploding with growth and industry. The economy, based on solid businesses founded through hard times, has proven to be the fuel to the expanding growth market in our area. Home of Wal-Mart, Tyson’s and many vendor support groups, the area now has influences of style and culture from many different areas of the Nation. This influx has created a high demand for interior design and home design type products that formerly hadn’t been available to this area.

In 2002, a design market was opened in the Historic Blake House just off the square in downtown Bentonville. Due to high demand for this type of service and product we decided to expand to a more commercial market.

To meet the needs we purchased a building in the downtown Historic district of Bentonville. After extensive remodeling, much hard work, and a lot of deliberation on a new name, the Purple Armadillo was born.

The store officially opened for business under the new name in March of 2004. Offering a unique selection of quality products at an affordable price has been the driving force of our business. Our goal is to bring to our customers influences of style and culture from around the world without the expense of traveling. We offer a consistent flow of new products arriving on a daily basis.

This year has been a tremendous year. We are excited about the opportunity to offer our loyal out-of-town customers the convenience of online shopping. We at the Purple Armadillo appreciate your patronage and look forward to serving your design needs in the years to come.
