The first Houndstooth store was opened in the Northwest Arkansas Mall of Fayetteville and carried only Houndstooth Originals. Soon after, we realized that Houndstooth had potential beyond its hometown. So, we expanded. In 1996, a store was opened in Central Mall in the city of Ft. Smith, AR. In 1997, the expansion continued all the way across the state to Jonesboro, AR in the Mall at Turtle Creek.
