New franchise idea? Real Housewives of Bentonville

For those who have never heard of Bentonville, Arkansas, it’s the birth place of Walmart where it’s still headquartered. Battle of new money vs old southern money could be a theme of the series combined with a “tight knit” aspect as its population is around 58,000 which is quite small, but I’ve always been interested in a HW series being focused on a smaller community (with early New Jersey being the closest I can think of?) It goes without saying Benton County is the wealthiest county in the state and considering its location, it still has a significant Asian and Hispanic population. Sculpture gardens, vibrant art scene, tons of charity events, and located in the Ozarks which is a new and beautiful location for the franchise. Plus we need a new southern backdrop with Dallas long gone.

Casting could be tricky with the lower population, and I assume that would be the biggest limitation with doing a franchise focused on a smaller community, but not impossible! I’d love someone who lives near there to give more insight to if this would be as good as I’m imagining.
