Chick-fil-a is not coming to moore at this time. I talked with the owner in norman and he said the plans got cancelled.

yeah, we learned that back in October...in an earlier post within this thread.

Ugh, I want to move. I live in the apt complexes next to the golf course, and with all of this stuff coming in, and the new high school, they will be down the tube faster than Warren Theater's grand opening.

I'm way sad about Chick-Fil-A not coming. I was seriously craving some chicken biscuits.

So if Best Buy is moving in, what's the deal with the Crossroads one? I heard it's about to bust anyway. All of the south OKC clientele (and not the good kind) will be filtering into Moore?

I know what you are saying, I live off eagle drive.. 19th is a nightmare already. Its nice to see all the new businesses in moore, but we do not have the roads up to date, and we are now experiencing the problems. gridlock on 19th bridge and up to santa fe. Just wait till the new highschool, new theater, new bestbuy and bed bath and beyond, the new lifestyle center, the new development from aldi's up to the church by eagle drive is all complete. i would say a extra 10,000 cars up and down 19th street a day by end of summer... WE NEED MORE LANES NOW NOT LATER WE NEEDED THEM A YEAR AGO!!!!! I sometime feel like going to city hall and :fighting3 :fighting3 :fighting4 :numchucks :boxing2: :beaten_fi and just to throw it in:ou

P.S.- I heard a Target is going in next to homedepot on the south side of 19th. Not a Super Target, just a regular one. I don't think its a good move with the one so close in Norman.
On another note, construction to widen Santa Fe between 4th and 19th is 'supposed' to be done before Southmoore opens.

all of my friends in tulsa are bragging to me about tulsa getting a dave and busters before OKC

Do you have a link or something supporting this?

can't find a thing on the net, but i've heard from multiple sources in different circles.

Dear lord. Only Tulsans would brag about something like that. Whatever helps them sleep at night.

so i hear that a land owner has a piece behind the best buy in the 71st & Mingo area, by the huge church (across from Union HS), and he sold the land to Dave and Busters.

I love D&B's. I'd drive to Tulsa for it if they did get one...Although I think it would do better in OKC...Say...IN PLACE OF TOBY KEITH'S. Perfect location for it really :D

I would drive to Tulsa to go to Dave & Buster's too.

Does anyone else think those apts will go down the drain with all the commerical development around them?

nah. Those aren't normal apartments. They are actually owned and run by the company that owns the golf course - Lindsey Management. They will be will fine. There is a Lindsey Course in Derby Kansas outside of Wichita and they not only have apartments, but very nice houses surrounding the course. I was hoping they would do that with the Moore course.

Lindsey Management co., Inc. affordable apartment homes, executive suites, golf courses in Arkansas, Alabama, Kansas, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. (http://www.lindseymanagement.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi)

Well I live there, I'm familiar with the management, etc..... and trust me, they aren't as pretty on the inside as they are on the outside. I'm hoping that the golf course keeps them decent.

If this is true, that is pretty stupid although it would save me gas from going to Target in Norman though but I do prefer Best Buy though

What is Dave and Buster's? I never heard of it

I've seen commercials for it. It looks like the concept of Chuck E Cheese Pizza, but for adults.

Ahh, I am guessing the pizzas must be good

Ahh, I am guessing the pizzas must be good

They've got full restaurants and bars in them. I don't recall ever having pizza in one, but I'm sure they sell it.

I DID have some bacon-wrapped, BBQ sauce covered shrimp kabobs that were like crack on a stick though.

Every one that I've ever been in has had a beer selection that rivals Tapwerks too (although it's in bottles vice being on tap).

Okay, new rumor (?), haven't been here in a while...

How about the old Harrigan's on I-240 west of Penn becoming a HIDEAWAY PIZZA...??

Any confirmation/denial on that one from anybody?

-soonerdave

hideaway pizza? haven't heard anything along those lines... but... seriously...

i would die and go to heaven if that happened.

I thought Outback was moving there.

Well, not much telling, apparently, because I've heard probably half-a-dozen rumors about Outback, the old Don Pablo's, Hideaway, Home Depot, and Best Buy over the last, oh, six months, and none of them have been in the ballpark.

I think there are just lots of ideas floating around. I would have to think Outback wants out of that relatively horrible location they're in right now behind Olive Gaggin', and surely that Harrigan's space is usable for something. The Hideaway rumor was relayed to me by someone who isn't necessarily in the real estate business, but certainly has ample opportunity to be in contact with those who *would* know.

I'd still like to have a BJ's and/or a Chik-fil-A close by. I hate that they cancelled the Moore plans (for Chik-fil-A), alhtough that would have been a bit far for us to consider convenient.

Nothing new emerging about possible tenants in I-240 Penn Phase II, eh?

And nothing new emerging about any new Super Targets or Super Wal Slums in the far SW OKC area, either, it seems...

Man, what good is a rumor mill without some good, meaty rumors? :D

-SD

Heck if I know.

I don't know anybody that knows anybody that knows anybody in the know.

I get all my rumor stuff from here :D

Maybe we could start a rumor that a BIG RUMOR was about to start circulating?

Never heard of it but I would die and go to heaven if Godfather's pizza is back into town!!!

does anybody know whats going to go in the new lifestyle center that is being built south of gordman? Also the field just west of home depot, they are putting in a fire station

I thought somebody posted a link to that a while back.

That doesn't list actual stores though :/

No kidding!!!

For my money, Godfather's Italian Sausage pizza was *the best* pizza I ever had. They *never* scrimped on the quantity of meats/toppings, and it had an absolutely FABULOUS flavor. No one in town right now comes close, and that includes Hideaway (and Hideaway is really good).

They disappeared from the local scene once, then re-emerged with several locations across town, then migrated to delivery-only, then disappeared forever. Alas. :(

-Sd

my dad use to take me to godfathers every monday around lunch in the summer when i was out of school, they had a small buffet but it was so damn good, they had the best pizza ever, i can not believe they are gone, why?

There are several Godfather's Pizza places still in the state...Too bad that most of them are convenience store type joints.

I used to be a delivery driver for Godfather's Pizza at 89th & Penn around 1990. Went home with one just about every night. Good stuff but after a while I was craving Pizza Hut or Domino's lol

lol kinda reminds me of a gal I went to high school with - she lived down the street from me, and worked at Braum's one summer. I thought that was kinda cool, but she said after she worked there about a week, the sight of ice cream almost made her ill :) Apparently, you start slinging ice cream early in the day, no matter how careful you are, you get "slop" on your apron/outfit, and apparently it doesn't take long to start smelling like spoiled milk...particularly on those hot summer Oklahoma days...

Doesn't make me want Godfather's any less, however :)

Quick Rumor Update:
I am backtracking on my earlier comments on Chick-fil-a in Moore. I spoke with several people and it should open next to Chili's by Feb. 09 or sooner. Norman one should be open later this fall. Remember this is all a rumor! If you happen to stop by Starbucks next to Chili's ask some of the workers, I heard they were told as well of the Chick-fil-a.

If this is really going to happen then I would be really pleased, I am really tired going to Crossroads Mall just to get Chikfila

It is happening. From a VERY reliable source. There also will be a SMALL shopping strip next to it. Not sure if Chik Fil A will be physically connected to it or not. I will ask next time I speak with the guy.

That's good news...now only if Godfather's will come back....

Glad it's a small shopping strip! Speaking of that whole area (Starbuck's)... every time I go to that particular Starbucks in Moore the coffee seems to be not so... hot. My friend and I have realized that. Where's the HOT coffee?

I think we should rally for a Dunkin' Donuts.

I was not that impressed with the temp of the coffee as well, i can drink my coffee before it can cool off, but at the starbucks in moore, it was luke warm i had to throw the last bit out because i hate cold or cool tasting coffee, but i know this is funny but the hot teas and coffee at russell stovers candy factory by buffalo wild wings has some hot hot hot coffee.. and the hot peppermint tea is really really good, you get a large to go cup of hot herbal tea for 90 cents, you cant beat that

I go there several times each week and mine is scalding. I've never had anything other than really hot coffee. But I always buy black coffee.

I like the new Starbucks on Western south of 89th Street, too.

Re: Starbucks in Moore - I frequent that store about 2 times per week and a friend usually has coffee from there every other day. I - out of all of my times, since it's opening, ie - A LOT - have only had one time where I had a hot mocha that wasn't too hot. And you know what I did - I asked them to re-make it ... and they did! Wow - what a concept. Ask them to redo it for you if you're not happy and they will. At least for the few people I know that go to the Moore Starbucks, I haven't heard of any of those complaints except for one time for myself.

I frequent the Moore Starbucks as well and my drink is always hot, and the staff is always friendly.

The staff is friendly, but I asked them to make it hotter last time, and the guy was like "then the milk will scald and it will not taste good." So...I used your "concept" and it didn't work for me. I'm used to getting coffee in the NJ/NYC/PA/MD area, and they have hoooottttttt coffee there. I'm just not going to that particular Starbucks anymore.

I don't want to get all the Starbucks-lovers chasing me, but geez, even my non-coffee drinking friends noticed it. It's cold before I get to 40 on the way to work.

Sorry Seinfeld. My tone was a bit sarcastic and I apologize for that.

That's good news...now only if Godfather's will come back....

I sent Godfather's a message about them having any chance of making a comeback in the OKC area....she said she'd refer my question to their site team and get back to me.

We'll see.

I don't know if they have ANY standalone stores left.

Would be cool though.

They have none unfortanely

I wonder if they still use that same sausage in the locations they DO have. Because (like SoonerDave) I LOVED that stuff.

Yeah they do, I tried it a few months ago at a gas station like 30 minutes away from Yukon and they still do have the same sausage, it was soooooooooooooooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet.

Maybe I'll track one down today.

Sweet.

Let me know how is it!

I have done some mystery shopping..and I know from job descriptions that Starbucks gives their Mystry Shoppers a thermometer and have them order the same drink...Not remembering which one as I never did shop for them, but as soon as they pull away from the window, they are to check the temperature of the drink...
And answer a few questions about service...

Godfathers Pizza...Yummmm I took my kids there often back then...
The one in Moore is now a Mexican resturant..with pretty good food...
And reasonable prices too...Los Vaqueros..I think..

And My daugter and gson will be glad to hear that the Chick Fillet is back on...

I see Godfather's in convenience stores in southern Oklahoma a lot. I never knew it had such a following!!!

guess i'm not the diehard fan, but if you're jonesing for some godfathers... according to their website it appears that a truckstop on i-35 & ne 122nd serves up a limited menu. if you can't picture the location, it's just southwest from cracker barrel.

-M

mmm - that Godfather's location is located inside the LOVES Country Store fueling station. FYI. Just filled up there and saw the sign and thought of this thread ... but it doesn't seem too appealing to me to eat there (dirty looking & fuel/greasy feeling!!)

^
blech, no doubt... though it may be worth it to those diehard godfathers fans. i remember driving to shawnee several years ago just to go to a gas station that sells taco tico.

-M

Taco Tico!!!!!!! I forgot about that place. You know what sucks though? The lack of Dairy Queen. I'll have to drive to Chickasha just to go there at some point. Why can't we have DQ?

I don't like Diary Queen but I do like their cherry limeades, I wonder what happened, it used to be popular and was almost everywhere and then bam, it disappeared forever
