I'd like to see Escada, Hugo Boss, Michael Kors, Burberry, DVF, Fendi, Furla, Gucci, Armani. Obviously that's unlikely to happen, although they all have outlet stores elsewhere, but I'm just wishing.

Betts, pretty sure the list above said Kors.

Ah, you're right. I actually think this is a pretty good list of stores we're going to have. It's just that my ideal outlet mall would have the others as well.

Smashburger?

Who is going to run that, Uncle Jesse (John Stamos)?

(now does anyone know what I am referencing?)

Until you mentioned John Stamos, I was thinking The Dukes of Hazzard, but will instead say Full House in the 7th season episode "Another Opening, Another No Show", where Uncle Jesse re-opened the Smash Club (where his old band jessie & the Rippers often played). Things don't go as planned. Like Joey booking R.E.M, and instead of getting THAT R.E.M, it was an aging sister act (can't recall what REM stood for in their name). "Ben Stein shows up as a restaurant reviewer, while the Del Rubio Triplets perform Devo's "Whip It". "They made various television appearances such as Married... with Children (as cousins of Peggy), Full House, The Golden Girls (called the Donatello Triplets on the show), Night Court and Pee-wee's Playhouse wearing bouffant hair-dos and gaudy blue eyeshadow. They often appeared scantily clad (usually showing off their legs) despite the fact that they were in their sixties at the time. "

And yes I did have help with the above from the internet, but remember the show pretty well

The Saks outlets are pretty darn nice... They carry Armani, Hugo Boss and lots of other designers as well as a lot of their store-branded merchandise.

I live close to arguably the biggest and best factory outlet complex anywhere (virtually every top designer has a large store) yet I like Saks the best. If this store is anything like the one near me, it will be a significant addition to the OKC shopping scene.

Saks and Niemans and even Nordstrom tend not to have a lot of sale merchandise in their stores and prefer to use these types of outlets for their discounted items. As an example, pretty much all the suits in Saks Off Fifth are about half off MSRP with a decent selection of the higher-end brands.

I'm not recalling one, but does anyone else recall whether there is a Big/Tall store amongst the outlets.

Ima big guy, i shop at casual male XL and they told me last year there was plans to open a outlet casual xl in the west side of town, so I was thinking it should be in that outlet center unless plans changed

I was thinking the spot on Reno next to Priscilla's diagonally across from the outlet would be a good place for me to open up a big and tall. However, AFAIK, the names in the business are not franchises and I really don't know diddly about the clothing business. That place might be leased now too but there's still no sign up.

Both San Marcos and Round Rock outlet malls have the Casual Male XL store, I would think the one in OKC would as well.

Yeah, most of the merchandise in these stores are those items that didn't sell in their regular stores. You're right, mosts Saks, Nieman, and Norstrom stores don't have clearance racks. Their clearance racks are their outlet stores.

Never shopped at a Casual Male. I presume they go on up a few more X's on the front side of the L? I ask cause me and Gabriel, we could hang if I liked chocolate cake better (but I'd be the smaller cuter cousin, well, smaller anyway.

Not always, it just depends on the store, they aren't like the Dillard's Clearance Centers which really were just that. The Casual Male XL store has many of the same shirts that a regular store does. I bought a pair of jeans at the Polo Outlet in Round Rock last weekend, the same jeans that I bought at the Dillard's in The Domain a month ago for $15.00 less. For many items like that there is no "season" and so there is no seasonal changeover and many of the traditional clothing items are available at both the outlet and regular stores.

Casual Male XL has sizes up to 6XL, I buy shirts there or when Dillard's puts them on sale. I get the big & tall shirts but regular size pants, so I have to hit both sections in regular stores.

I bought a sport coat and dress shirt at Casual Male XL last weekend. I'd shop there more if the store had better variety.

Casual Male is opening up a Destination XL shop on NW expressway I believe this fall (and will be closing the Casual Male stores on expressway and 240)...

The Destination XL stores are AMAZINGLY big and loaded with product, a LOT more than the Casual Male stores...

Causal male xl sizes go from large to 5xl, the pants go up to size 72 inch waist i believe, they carry other stuff like large size shoes, also colognes and other accesories like ties and stuff, its a good place to shop if you are looking for a 2xl or a 3xl that acutally looks nice and trendy.. I like their vintage logo shirts

Any one here attend the job fair for this outlet mall? If so, what was the name person who's the director for this outlet mall? I'm trying to contact her. She was there at the job fair. If anyone remembers her, she was the lady who was standing outside the room for the job fair and was taking applications from people.

you can now see the interior signs in the polo building far se corner of the mall

Whats the opening date?

There are many, many more vehicles at this place now. Construction will really pick up now. 52 days until opening...they are cutting it close.

I wonder when the construction at Council and Reno will be complete.

I am excited for it to open, my wife and I are planning to do most of our x-mas shopping their this year.. The disney store, childrens place..etc a lot of good names are going in!

Looks like things are coming together. I see landscaping materials and parking striping in places. Polo logos are visible in the glass of one area. If the tenant finishes are moving along they might make an August opening.

I'm not so sure about the street work. There's plenty to do, but per typical, not many working on it. When I came through there just now it looked like two men on machines at one corner when all for corners and other turnouts on Reno need work. That's a ridiculous lack of manpower considering the traffic that goes through that intersection now.

bad thing about his devlopment, that means OKC is the city love low wage jobs???

Facepalm

Facepalm

Second that, metro. LOL

Thirded.

Is this an example? :doh:

??????????????

Nike sign is now up, sod grass and seedling trees planted. I'm surprised the center doesn't have their permanent signs up yet.

??????????????

Obviously OKC should discourage new retail businesses because that would bring low wage jobs. LOL

This project is excellent for a variety of reasons, but I don't think anybody is suggesting that "high paying jobs" are one of those reasons. This is a quality-of-life project for the residents of OKC, it's not going to move OKC up in statistical categories of economic development. That's OK, by the way, I'm happy it's happening regardless.

Any pictures por favor???

It will move OKC up in the statistical categories of tax revenue and that is an important issue.

Good timing for the grand opening.

My co worker and I both read this sentence, and it just reads funny. Still doesn't make sense to me the way it's written but thanks for the translation... smh

AND apparently as noted by post #751, I'm not the only poster here who didn't understand it, so lay off it.

I am saving up a few extra dollars for the opening...I don't care if they aren't really discounted or discounted much, at least not right now. Another option to go buy some clothes in OKC. Not bad at all.

I'm just glad there's some shopping options that will be keeping all of the sales tax revenue here in OKC instead of running it down to Tejas. Heck, I'll even delay my new shoe purchase until the Nike Store opens.

And the have a Smashburger!!

You obviously misunderstood my post. I was agreeing with your statement and elaborating on it. "?????????????"

Yes, lack of sleep can make you misunderstand lots a things! ;-)

Looks like competition is in the works. DFW area building a new $100 million dollar upscale outlet mall. OKC's cost is only $50 million. Either OKC got a bargain or they are building on the "cheap". However, maybe it also has to do with the size and square feet?

Not to mention DFW has the Allen outlet mall already

I was being sarcastic.

I know Redrunner. We're all engaging in a bit of extreme ridiculousness in response to what is seen as ... oh, never mind.

This center looks better than I expected. Here is a tour of the space:

I hope the Crossroads Mall Zombies don't take over. :ohno:

LOL, that's unfortunately probably just a matter of time, unless it really spurs development on the other side of I-40.

Maybe the overflow inquiries can find solace at crossroads, lol

They will probably add on. There is room for them to expand. I can't wait to see what developments pop up infront of it.

How exciting!
