Didn't see a dedicated thread to general Tulsa business news. So, here it is!
A good piece of news for Tulsa. This newly formed company chose Tulsa to relocate its headquarters to over Chicago. It's pleasant to hear businesses relocating to Tulsa, instead of leaving, as has been the case over the last couple decades.
