an arkansas staple, coming back to life.
For over 76 years, AQ Chicken served up its signature crispy fried chicken and became a culinary legend. While the doors closed earlier this year, we’re thrilled to say that AQ is making its return. We can’t wait to bring back this Arkansas staple in our warm, welcoming atmosphere - the same setting that made AQ a gathering place for families and friends for generations.
ABOUT
it’s all in the family.
LIKE AQ, OUR FAMILY HAS CALLED SPRINGDALE HOME FOR GENERATIONS.
Locally owned companies are the lifeblood of a community, representing a rich tapestry of entrepreneurship and innovation. This is something that Tom and Robin Lundstrum know all too well. From a local franchise to rental property, Tom and Robin have been serial entrepreneurs across Northwest Arkansas for over 35 years.
Serial entrepreneurship runs deep in this family's DNA, with a legacy that spans generations. With a remarkable lineage of business ventures spanning diverse industries, each generation has brought fresh ideas and unwavering determination to the table. This has generated a legacy of innovation, adaptability, and a fearless pursuit of new opportunities.
Passing on the entrepreneurship gene, Tom and Robin’s daughter, Gracie, and her husband, Jacob Lively, recently moved back to NWA to partner on several new business ventures through their company Catalyst Capital, including the relaunch of AQ Chicken.
