Food Pyramid is leaving Tulsa

[swake]

The Tulsa World is saying that Food Pyramid is leaving Tulsa. Three of the remaining five stores (Brookside, 51st & Harvard, and 71st & Garnett) are being sold to Reasors. The other two stores and the closed store at 101st and Memorial are being looked at by a nation chain. The article doesn't say who.

Not a loss for me, I very rarely shopped there.

Wonder if they will convert the three to actual Reasors stores or leave them as-is like the faux Reasors on Sheridan.

So now it's Reasors, Wal-Mart, Neighborhood Mkt, Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Sprouts, and a few other high-priced stores.
I never shopped @ Food Pyramid, but I assume they were providing some needed competition in the reasonably priced category.

I recently moved near 41st & Yale.   That Reasors blows.    The Food Pyramid @ 51st & Harvard also blows.  (looking forward to Sprouts).
With two Reasors so relatively close, I'm hoping they'll
1: remodel 51st & Harvard before reopening as Reasors
2: once open, temporarily close 41st & Yale for remodeling

That link shows the page for about a second, then diverts to a "page not found."
Noticed several TW stories doing that today.

I think the one on Sheridan was built as a Reasors, wasn't it? It's just old. They do need to redo that store and the one at 41st and Yale.

Which one on Sheridan?  71st?  That was an old Price Mart way back when I was in high school.

[swake]

Was it?  I only vaguely recall that chain. They were pretty bad stores weren't they?

[Hoss]

Better than Reasons. IMO of course.

If they follow what they did on the remodel of the 15 th and Lewis store they will not close but will remodel around  the open store. Some great sale prices getting rid of product lines they don't carry.  I went to the Sprouts on Memorial and thought it was a Whole Foods wannabe. Not impressed. Just wish we could get a HEB here.  Hopefully Reasors will include some of the stuff they have in the Bixby store in these new locations.

Who is the new "national" chain? Dillons?

**cough,cough** Kroger. Actually I shopped at a Dillon's IGA in Joplin years ago and they were pretty good. Have been shopping at Fred Meyer/Smith's/Fry's (all Kroger) for several years and they are pretty good. Better than Wally World, little more expensive, but at least the shelves are stocked, and quality products, and I don't feel like I need to be checked for scurvy after being in the store.

The Reasors at 101st and Elm was also a Price Mart. I had all but forgot about them.

The mentioning of IGA makes me think of the one that I shopped at 91st and Elm that was a "Consumers IGA" I liked it.

Also. I see nobody mentioned "Warehouse Market" which is probably a good thing.

Warehouse Market, the store that makes Wal-Mart look fancy. How do those places stay in business? Their parking lots always look so empty.

Crest in central Oklahoma is doing kind of the Reasor's thing for that part of the state.  Not a bad store....


There is still a Piggly Wiggly in Collinsville...I remember the one that was at 31st and Yale long, long ago....just across the street from Scotty's Hamburgers.

[DolfanBob]

Piggly Wiggly? Now we're talkin. I remember one on North Peoria and one in East Tulsa. Not real sure though. 21st or 31st and 129th I think.
