Walton-Owned Ropeswing Outsources Operations

Ropeswing Hospitality Group, which owns multiple Bentonville restaurants, is outsourcing its food and hospitality operations to a company that is a relative newcomer to the area.

The Indigo Road Hospitality Group announced August 18 that it will take over day-to-day operations and extend employment offers to current Ropeswing staff.

The Indigo Road Hospitality Group runs hotels and restaurants across the South and entered the Northwest Arkansas market in 2024 with Junto and Bar Kapu at the Motto Bentonville hotel. It also recently opened Oak Steakhouse in Rogers.

Restaurants and venues now under Indigo Road’s management include BlakeSt, Co-Op Ramen, Horseshoe Canyon Ranch, Lady Slipper, Louise, and The Preacher’s Son. The arrangement also covers three Ropeswing concepts announced last month for The Compton Hotel: Sestina, Field Notes, and The Eddy.

Walton-backed Ropeswing traces its start to the 2016 opening of The Preacher’s Son in a renovated church in downtown Bentonville.
