So it's not Food Lion because it's out of their distribution area, it's not Walmarts Marketside meant to copy Tesco's Fresh&Easy since Walmart only built for of them in AZ and they are closing, it's not Tesco since they are still concentrating on on CA,AZ,NV. Could it be a Ralph's Market from CA since they are owned by Kroger that has distribution centers in MO and TX? Or is it an offshoot of Petty's based on Tesco/Walmarts ideas?

That's why I suggested Petty's. I was just thinking and guessing was all. I don't know all the local players that are in the grocey game in Tulsa anymore, same as it is out here. It's hard to tell who is truly local anymore.

It's not a chain.

It's more like http://www.themarketatlarimer.com/, only with more "staples."

In addition to grocery (deli meats, fresh produce, dairy, baked goods, basic medicines, beer, soda, etc), think fresh flowers, a chef prepared food line (like Whole Foods), and a coffee bar.

Urban Market. Locally owned. It's a place to eat, get coffee, or buy some toothpaste.

Theoretically.

Except it will probably be a quarter rather than a penny.

Yes, people who live downtown may or may not go to a grocery store downtown depending on what they have in stock and what brands, etc etc.  This isn't going to be a walmart.  You want 10 different kinds of tortilla chips you won't be in luck.

On another note:

Those that live downtown, what do you want out of a downtown grocery store?
