Whole Foods

[Gaspar]

I think the underlying point of this thread is that it is a good sign for our local economy that a Whole Foods is choosing to locate another store here. Period.  It is not a comment on the Urban Design, location, perpetuation of suburban lifestyles....or anything else. It's simply, Whole Foods is building a store in Tulsa, and that is a good thing.  Period.

and. . .it's right down the street from me, so I can't wait!

As much as I was gripping about it earlier, you are correct.  A somewhat exclusive retailer who bases their store building on income and education levels is building another location here.  It may not LEAD to good things (it remains to be seen) but it certainly points out good things that are already here.  So yes, as economic metric, this is good.

Oh and we will have two and OKC will still only have one.

Not bad. 4 pages to come up with three good summary statements.

Can't have that.  What ever happened to our beer summit, AM?  You didn't come to Fassler's with the rest of us last night.

How does WF feel about parking behind the building?  The intersection looks pretty nice if you look up and away when you see the QT.

I'm a philosophy grad student, you're lucky it wasn't 200 pages.

That's not the site plan....sorry.

South Tulsa.  I guess we'd all be freaked if we couldn't see a huge parking lot.

There would be casualties.

On a scale of Starship Troopers I'm sure.

Where would we park our giant SUVs?

At least they are spreading more stores closer to where I live.

Any confirmation on this yet?

There's no 2nd Tulsa listing on Wholefoods and the new signs on the SW corner of 91st and Yale say "new development coming soon" and "space available".   

No mention of Wholefoods as of 2 days ago.
