The Walk at Tulsa Hills

[swake]

Looks like Aldi will be going in.  When will this growing area of SW Tulsa get its first full service grocery store?  Will the south side of Tulsa Hills eventually have one?

Reasor's is just two miles away.

And Whorehouse Market is only a few miles the other direction.

Reasor's is just two miles away.

True, and many people around there probably go to it (my parents do).  Eventually as new housing goes up along and west of Elwood north and south of 71st, and other housing divisions go up along and south of 81st between 75 and Elwood, there will be a need for a full service grocery in or around Tulsa Hills.  There is also a number of really nice homes/high incomes nearby along 71st west of 33rd W Ave toward Oaks Country Club (just outside Tulsa city limits in Creek County). 

The population is this part of town has already more than doubled in 5 years and will probably double again in another 5.  Tulsa Hills, easy access to 75 and the rest of the city on 71st and Jenks schools will keep the growth steady.  It won't be long before a Jenks Northwest Elem is built.

What a waste of space?   

Would be been a perfect location for Sprouts.   They have a south Tulsa location (Bixby)   Tulsa Central location (41st and Harvard)    They are about to have a East location (Broken Arrow)   What about the West side?

I love Aldi. I shop at one every week.

I don't like Aldi, but that may be partially because the employees were massive tools when I visited. They do weird things in those stores like buy your own bags. When I went they didn't explain this, acted irritated that I didn't divine it on my own, and just tossed my stuff on a table and started checking out the next person. Didn't even give me the chance to buy a bag. We ended up just having to hug our food to the car.

I wonder if the boneheads at Target still disagree.

They sell bags right below the conveyor at the register. I just take a box or two from the store while shopping and box them myself.

Did you figure out that you get your quarter back when you return the cart?

Target has added fresh food to that store, it's not exactly a full grocery store, but it's pretty close. At one point Wal-Mart was going to open a Neighborhood Market on the west side of US-75 on 81st.

That would have made more sense than the new WMM at 31st & Harvard.

I went to Aldi and bought staples, then compared the prices to the generics and store brands at Target, Walmart, and Reasors.  It really was about the same.  Aldi won on somethings, the others won on others.  I prefer to just go to one of the other stores and at least have the option of name brands that might be on sale.  People who like Aldi really like it though so they're doing something right.  Just not for me I guess.

I had heard that was where Aldi was going to build as well.  Guess not.  Maybe The Walk had trouble getting one of the health chain grocers to sign up.

Grocery selection at the 17th & Yale Target seems to be on it's death bead
