IN MESQUITE Magazine has returned after a 3-year absence post-Covid.
IN MESQUITE published its inaugural issue in early 2007 and continued to do so through March 2020, when Covid caused us to walk away with no clear understanding of when or if it would return.
For 13 years, IN MESQUITE was published bi-monthly and direct mailed over 63,000 copies throughout Mesquite, Sunnyvale and Forney. In time, two other publications were added that serviced Rockwall and Garland.
A lot has changed in three years since we have been idle. The most notable is the increase in the number of new homes and businesses within the area, which confirms that the area has grown significantly.
We are set to direct mail over 74,000 copies to homes throughout Mesquite, Sunnyvale, and Forney, with plans to include Terrell and Kaufman in the coming months.
IN MESQUITE Magazine is independently owned and operated by Chet D. Arnold, a graduate of John Tyler High School in Tyler, Texas. After graduation Chet completed Infantry School at Ft. Benning, GA. and was assigned as Rifleman to Alpha Co. 4/22 Infantry with the 25th Infantry Division of the Army out of Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. Upon Mr. Arnold returned to Texas, Chet relocated to Mesquite while attending Richland Community College. After obtaining an associate degree, he transferred to East Texas State University-Commerce to complete his undergraduate studies in Communications (Radio/TV-Film).
Several stops in Sales prepared the publisher for the position he currently holds. His six years at the GTE/Verizon Yellow Pages and two years at the Dallas Morning has also contributed to his foundation in publishing.
Publishing IN MESQUITE has proven to be both challenging and rewarding for Mr. Arnold. Returning after a 3-year hiatus is exciting! We are thankful to be welcomed back with open arms to serve a community that we have grown to love and call home.
After calling Mesquite home for over 20 years, the Arnold family moved to Forney in 2018 while leaving the business IN MESQUITE. We are grateful to be a part of this community and contributing to its success as we work between Mesquite, Sunnyvale, Forney, Terrell, and Kaufman impacting each financially as we live and play throughout these communities.
