Ride-hailing service Uber will begin operating in Texarkana next week.
The company's local launch date is Aug. 29, communications manager Travis Considine said. Local stakeholders and elected officials are being invited to an official announcement event to be held that day.
Uber experts will be available to help prospective drivers from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. today through Friday in the Texas-side Sprint store at 3741 Mall Drive.
