Opening Target • February 2026

Help build Lula & Bert — a neighborhood market for Little Rock

Where fresh produce, local pride, and good conversation meet. Lula & Bert will bring farm-fresh foods, house-made soups and sandwiches, and a smart, easy checkout experience to the heart of the community. Every dollar brings us closer to opening doors in February 2026. Your gift powers the buildout, equipment, and first inventory.

About Lula & Bert General Store

Lula & Bert is our love letter to community care and real access. We’re not just a general store. We’re your trusted neighborhood source for farm-fresh produce, local food sources, pantry goods, and daily essentials, all sourced from people who care.

Our items don’t come from big box stores. They come from real people with a real passion for good food and good products. Fresh fruits, thoughtful ingredients, and items that carry a story. When you stop in, you're not just shopping, you’re supporting neighbors.

Named after the ancestors who nourished us, Lula & Bert is legacy, fresh-picked.
