Open for Business

Dr. Carrie Arquitt opened Child Style Dental on June 21 at 3045 S. Delaware Ave. Child Style Dental features pediatric dentistry, with Arquitt as the sole practitioner. She was named one of Springfield Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 honorees in May, largely due to her work as the first dentist at Jordan Valley Community Health Center, which she left in late May. Arquitt earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery in 1996, and her Master of Science and a certificate of pediatric dentistry in 1999 from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Hours: 8 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Phone: (417) 883-4746.

Emack & Bolio’s

Steve Bingham opened a second Emack & Bolio’s franchise in Springfield on July 12 at 2925 E. Battlefield Road in Claremont Commons. Bingham opened his first Emack & Bolio’s franchise at 216 E.
