For a second I thought this was going to be a thread about people moving away from Owasso back to the city. [:P]
I've been waiting for years for QT to take over the old Byrd's gas station. Too bad I don't live there anymore.
I thought we had read that it was going to be a Harps Grocery in the old Albertsons. Last thing we need is yet ANOTHER walmart.
I am glad about the QT, but I still can't understand why they left German Corner. I think we could more than support a QT there as well.
Hell we have a walgreens at 116th and and 96th. No one has that many prescriptions.
Anyone know what the deal is with the Las America's at German Corner?
Can anyone post the story? The link is subscription only.
Anyone know what is going in the old Fuddrucker's building. I'm assuming something is because it looked like someone has been working on the building and it is listed as "fully leased" on LoopNet (updated 12/4/09). http://www.loopnet.com/property/14927718/11909-East-96th-Street-North/
Also, the old Popeye's building is going to be a Church's. Hopefully it will last a little longer than Popeye's did (so we are shooting for 2 days, jk)

Popeye's and Church's are owned by the same corporation.
The Owasso Reporter says the old Fudrucker's building is being taken over by Ruby Tuesday.
well i am glad something is going in the building, but i was hoping for something better .... oh well, hopefully it will last .... are the Ruby Tuesday's in Tulsa doing good business anyone know?
I know I like to eat at Ruby Tuesday.
They have an outstanding salad bar.
I have enjoyed the half a dozen or so times I have ate there.
There's something going up on the old Golden Corral site too. The framing went up in the last couple of days.

It's going to be a strip business center. Similar to the one that is at 76th and 129th.
So the Fuddrucker's is going to be Ruby Tuesday. I have read they also have plans for restaurants in Broken Arrow and Glenpool. Any rumors about the former Steak N Shake in Owasso?
I have also heard Bed Bath & Beyond will take the place of the former Linens N Things.

It's sad that Linens N Things didn't make it. I think Bed Bath & Beyond will be good though. Has anyone heard of the new CVS pharmacy coming to Owasso? I heard last summer that it was coming but haven't heard anything since.
Yes, BB&B will be coming to the former Linens N Things.
CVS is planned for the Southeast Corner of 96th and 129th. I would imagine they are also looking in the area of Highway 20 and 169. They are preparing to open a store in Bixby and 2 with a 3rd planned for Broken Arrow.
I really wish Owasso had some good local restaurants. Unfortunately, everything we've had was mediocre to poor :(

Tavins Thai Grill are local people and is very good. The first Saturday of the month they have a Prime Rib Dinner that is very good. They have American/Native American and Thai food.
Trails End Bar B Que is good local place for Breakfast, their Bar B Que is good too. The owner was just given a Chamber of Commerce Community award for his support of community events both catering and just helping out.
El Fogon is a good local place for Mexican Food. It is not tex-mex like the local chains but authentic Mexican Food. The people who run it are super nice.
Collinsville at short drive north of Owasso has 3-4 dinners that are pretty good if you're looking for comfort food. I think Karen's Koutry Kitchen is the best of them they have a really good Catfish Dinner on Friday's. The Silver Dollar Cafe has good fried mushrooms and hot hamburger. Their serving portions run on the large side.
Baja Jack's Burrito Shack is a locally owned California beach style Mexican food. The Mango Salsa alone is worth the visit. The owner is usually there visiting your table making sure your are having a good experience.

Thanks for the tip. We're fairly new to Owasso, do you know where these places are? Baja Jacks is ok we've been there.
Don't forget Simply Sushi out east on 86th Street across from the 8th grade center. It's locally owned too.

I'm not a Sushi fan, it's fish bait to me. But one of my son's speaks highly of Simply Sushi.

Tavin's is behind Mazzio's delivery on 86th near the movie theater.
El Fogan is a block south of German Corner, 116th and Garnett across from Atwoods.
Trails End is on Garnett 3 blocks north of 86th street. Between the new 1st Bank of Owasso and the Fire Station but across the street.
The Dinner's in Collinsville are all on Main ST. Karen's Kourtry Kitchen is about 3-4 blocks west of 169 on the south side of the road before you come to the first stop light. The Silver Dollar Cafe is more in the middle of the downtown district of Collinsville. It is on the North Side of the road about the 3-4th stop light.
All those restaurants look like gas futures...

Hey, there's still a lot of folks make their living from the oil business around here. Give them a break.

Gas Futures what's wrong with that? I own a 20% interest in a natural gas well in Northern Craig County.
You going to have a problem with that like you have with every other capitalist function of our country?
