101st and Memorial

[Composer]

The 71st Target is going to lose lots of business when the Broken Arrow Target opens and this new one opens.

The Broken Arrow Target is a conventional Target, 71st is a Super Target. It may lose some to the 101st store but it will be 2009 or 2010 until that happens.

This conversation makes one appreciate midtown all the more. Too bad there is no good way to add half mile streets in that entire area. That one design change could have helped a lot.

Traffic gets stupid in midtown, too. It seems better, though, as you don't have to drive as far to get to your destination, generally.

I do not think many people are driving to Target from Broken Arrow for groceries.  They go for the general merchandise because they do not want to go to Wal-Mart.  Those people who live closer to the new BA Target will shop at the new Target.
