New Wal-Mart

[Kashmir]

Why no, feel free to share.

I know an Arby's is almost open, Academy is supposedly coming and JC Penney on hold. I have also heard rumors of a "Toys R Us Superstore" but no confirmation as of yet.

OMG no.  That would be bad for me, bad for Christmas, bad for Tulsa.  I HATE Toys R Us soooooo much!

I HATE Toys R Us soooooo much!

If I didn't have to drive all the way across town to get to one, I'd probably buy all my video games there. They're constantly running some kind of deal. Usually a $10-$15 gift card when you buy whatever new release. Not worth the drive for me, though. Since best buy gives me almost 10% back on video games and they're much closer, I just buy them there.

Forget Toys...they are down to mall vacancy spots... lucky they aren't belly up.

And Penny's ain't happening....

Sam's is going south of Target and there's rumors of southern Ag. there too....

Accidentally deleted my last post.  So the new Walmart held its Grand Opening today in eastern Broken Arrow. 

It is at 3900 E. Hillside Drive.  Developed by the same developer as the Glenpool Walmart (Tapp Development).

It would be great to see a Sam's Club in the Tulsa Hills area!

Spoken like a true parent.

Toys R Us just opened a new on in OKC. They have been on the upswing in recent years. You do realize they are the ONLY retailer surviving in the eastland mall area?

Scott,

Are you arguing with me?

I talked with a guy in the Real Estate department at Toys and they are well aware of the changing demographics in the former Eastland area.  But there is really no place for them to relocate in the eastern side of the city without Cannibalizing their 71st and Memorial location.

I like to use Dollar General instead.  I don't like to have to get all dressed up to go to Wal-Mart.

Well after Eight Months I have yet to see anymore progress going on around the new Creek Turnpike Wal-Mart on E 71st in B.A.
Any new news as to what else is going to fill that empty field. Cause the ol build it and they will come, just doesnt seem to apply at this time.
The store is always under shopped and under staffed. And that crazy lay out has to be contributing to the slow acceptance to the new location..
I just hope that it doesnt end up like the one sitting empty a half mile to the West.

I really dig the pile of mosquito breeding tires out front in the dump...field.
