I would say the west side could use a theater. If I lived out by the Outlets, Bricktown would probably be my option. I think there is enough people on that side of the metro to support a theater, especially since it would probably be of much higher quality than the one in Yukon. The OKC metro is saturated with theaters, but there really is only a few quality ones, those being Bricktown, Quail Springs AMC, and the Warren in Moore.Aaaaaaaahhhhh the AMC one in Quail is debatable.

I've always enjoyed my experiences at Quail's theater.

Yeah it's nice, but I think it is starting to go down hill a little bit along with whole mall.

Is there something going on below the surface that shows the mall is going down hill? It's the only mall we go to (closest) but I still prefer it over Penn Square. We rarely go to any other theater than the AMC 24 there. I've not seen any evidence that the mall is going down hill at all, but keep hearing people say it.

I do not see the QSM as going downhill, however, it just does not have the types of stores that I personally would shop at. To many hokey mom and pop stores and not enough stores such as Banana Republic, Restoration Hardware, J Crew etc... no mass appeal to modern day shoppers. I heard that Sears is closing in QSM so perhaps they will gain a more desired upscale tenant. With all the growth out in far North OKC and Deer Creek and Edmond area along with high incomes, I feel QSM should decide to upgrade their mix of stores.

The newer theater in Yukon is bad. The picture is a little blurry and the floors are dirty. Concessions are not good, popcorn isn't good and service is slow. I have seen several people stand in line for minutes then when they get near the front they find out they are in the wrong line (tickets vs. concessions) and it's really not their fault. I just don't like going there.

If the outlet mall opened a theater I think the Yukon theater would all but disappear. But teenagers hanging around the theater who don't go to a movie may happen like it did at the theater in Bricktown and the dollar movies by Crossroads.

The best theater to me is the one in El Reno. 8 screens so your movie may not be playing. No IMAX or upscale seating, no upscale concessions, no beer. But the picture is the best I have seen in the OKC metro at any theater. I have been to most theaters in OKC recently. I have seen a manager out in the theater with some kind of handheld device. It looked like he was calibrating the picture somehow. Great sound and the theater is clean, really clean as a matter of fact. Nothing on the floors or in the bathrooms. Heck, the bathroom mirrors don't even have any water splotches on them and the waste baskets never get full (so you don't have to push your trash into them). Now the theater doesn't seem to do a whole lot of business. But that isn't the customers concern (not really unless it goes out of business). The customers can just sit back and enjoy an uncrowded theater even on a Saturday night for a new release. The most crowded I have ever seen the theater was for "Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Man's Chest". The main theater was 70% full on a Sunday afternoon. That's where I usually go for a movie.

Aaaaaaaahhhhh the AMC one in Quail is debatable.

Agreed, but living in the Northside its nice enough to keep me from driving all the way down to Bricktown to see a movie.

Some of the nicest theaters I've been in are the newer Regal theaters. There are two in Charlotte that beat anything in OKC except for the Warren. Maybe something like that would be good for the Outlet mall area?

It would be awesome if they could convert part of the old AT&T factory into stores, movie theater, and some restaurants!

I've not seen any evidence that the mall is going down hill at all, but keep hearing people say it.I don't mean going down hill as far as losing clients and things like that. I just mean when I go there now there is just something about that feels like it is starting to become run down. I think a remodel is due. I really can't explain it too much, but it's just personal opinion.

With all the growth out in far North OKC and Deer Creek and Edmond area along with high incomes, I feel QSM should decide to upgrade their mix of stores.To be honest here, I just wish they would keep the stores at Qual Springs the way they are now and just remodel the mall and maybe add like an underground parking lot or something to consolidate parking so they can remove half of the parking. I think

I pretty sure I'm not very popular around here saying this, but I wish they would build about two new indoor malls. Something like the Galleria for downtown and a shopping feel like Frisco, TX with Life Style centers surrounding a big upscale indoor mall would be awesome in my opinion. Something like that would be awesome somewhere along I-35 in Edmond or somewhere in Norman(I don't really know Norman that well so I wouldn't know where to build one there).

The Crossroads theater was built as a Regal and it was great in its time. Today, its owned by AMC and the word is its run down and not very well maintained. The newer ones are amazing.

Here is a picture of the outside of the Charlotte Ballantyne Regal.

When I first went to the Outlet mall which was a week after it opened I found a lot of outlet items to be expensive, for example they had Sketchers for over 50 bucks when I could get them at JCP for a bit cheaper and the Polo store was pretty expensive too. I found great deals at Aeropostle and that was the only store at the Outlet I found a great deal.

When I recently went I found a 159 dollar coat at Bass for 27 dollars and Hilfiger jeans for 14 dollars. I have to say some of the stores have good deals while some are just too expensive for me like Polo Ralph Lauren, Zumiez and Saks for sure. The US Polo store has pretty good deals and I love trying those samples at Le Gormet Chef.

I hope the Outlet mall remains here for awhile and gets more stores and does not end up like Gainesville, I don't know what the deal with that mall is, it's right across from Winstar!

I think the biggest problem with Gainesville is that similar options closer to major population centers opened up. People won't drive that far when they don't have to.

Grapevine Mills and the outlet in Allen pretty much killed Gainesville traffic from DFW. And slowly improving shopping options in Ardmore and Durant have done the same for Oklahoma traffic.

The next expansion has been announced.

Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City to expand | News OK (http://newsok.com/outlet-shoppes-at-oklahoma-city-to-expand/article/3863236)

I honestly have no idea what else could go in there. Maybe an adidas?

Would North Face be an option?

It's probably a safe bet to look at some of the stores at other Horizon properties to see what OKC might be getting in this latest expansion.

I think this new expansion should include more lifestyle tenants. A movie theater and more restaurants would be perfect. I see this becoming like Concord Mills in Charlotte.

Same store sales at QSM are half of what they are at PS. That's why when a national retailer is faced with having to choose one mall, they'll close their store at QSM and keep their store at PSM open. Case in point, Eddie Bauer, Abercrombie, etc. And if national retailers are only going to locate one store in the market, they'll choose PSM over QSM because of the much higher sales volumes. This really hurts QSM.

Dont think there is enough room out there for a movie theater. Also, they still have some out parcel lots that will most likely be the restaurants. This expansion will be more retail like the rest of the mall.

If it is in the second expansion zone in there original master plan it is probably too small a lot for that. Though they have several open spaces on the opposite side of the street that circles the mall

They should build a scissortail flycatcher bridge over I-40 and expand to the south side of the highway along the river, a theater will fit over there.

Del Rancho's. Don't forget about those guys.

Would North Face be an option?

I would be in heaven if that happens lol.

Louis Vuitton? Sigh, not going to happen.

Louis Vuitton? Sigh, not going to happen.They're shrinking the one in the Galleria in Dallas. I had to drive to Houston to my clothes and shoes I wanted, because apparently they no longer carried mens ware, only purses! >_<

I do wish they would bring a Louis Vuitton though. . . :/

I was fired up about the Kenneth Cole outlet until I actually saw the apparel. Wow, that designer has slipped a few notches over the last few years. They still have good shoes, though.

Plupan, surely you could have the clothes shipped to you for less money than driving to Houston.

Most cloths anymore you actually have to try on unless you know how that line fits, not only do most companies have the own version of sizing (often off from the standard, generally smaller for vanity sizing) but many are not even consistent between different types of cloths they make. It use to be a bigger issue with womens cloths than mens, but now many brands in mens size are not the number of inches they claim.

I completely understand that but since he had particular clothes from a particular store that he wanted it is reasonable to assume that he knew what sizes he needed especially with shoes. When I go shopping I know what I want and in what size. I never have a problem with clothes that I don't try on first.

Plupan, surely you could have the clothes shipped to you for less money than driving to Houston.I had other reasons to drive down there, but you're probably right. The other problem is not being able too interact and feel what you're buying when purchasing online.

I was shopping at the Nike store in Santa Monica several weeks ago. Due to different materials and fits, I walked out with 2 Small shirts, 1 medium shirt, and 2 large shirts. All the same size after washing/drying, I usually wear a Medium shirt size.

Lets hope they add a lacoste and nautica. They need to add some decent places to eat at the shoppes, the food court is lackluster with the exception of Smashburger.

For some reason, I see Lacoste more for Penn Square.

At least they have a BJ's Brewhouse on the premises if you don't like the food court.

These are outlet stores. Not the same.

These are outlet stores. Not the same.I never really thought about it like that. Guess it does make sense seeing as they carry a different clothes line than the other stores.

I'm sure its already been said, but I love the Brooks Brothers store

... but now many brands in mens size are not the number of inches they claim.

:evilsmile

And I thought I was actually losing weight. Darn.

I'm sure its already been said, but I love the Brooks Brothers store


I was there Saturday and they had 50% off of about everything in the store I love when you can buy at half off. I brought four shirts for 95.00 when it was about 190.00 before the discount.

I honestly have no idea what else could go in there. Maybe an adidas?

I wouLdN't be surprised if adidas was added, they've got that Eddie Bauer Pacsun and Bath and Body works at most Horizon group outlet malls.

I wouldn't mind seeing an Old Navy Outlet at the outlet mall.

Old Navy used to be good, they have gone downhill with their quality of clothes though. Never been to one of their factory stores, so maybe they're different.

They need to add a Movado watch store to the outlet mall.

My wife is a huge fan of Kate Spade, Tory Burch and Lululemon and those outlets are few and far betweem. It would be cool if we could get the first two (I know Lululemon is moving into Classen Curve) in Penn Square Mall and then an outlet as well.

I don't think there would much difference between one of their outlet stores and regular stores.

Yeah I remember when Old Navy was one of the most popular brands in the early 2000s. It was what you wore if you didn't wear Abercrombie or American Eagle. I haven't worn anything from there in years though.

Does our outlet mall draw a lot of shoppers from the Tulsa area?

Does our outlet mall draw a lot of shoppers from the Tulsa area?

I would think it would since it is the closest one. Allen has one and so does Branson, but those are further away.

The article states that they expect to draw from the Tulsa area as well as northwest Arkansas, hence the location on the east side by I-44/412.

Know a guy behind one of the food places at the mall, said that on the weekend his receipts showed tons of people from tulsa zip codes as well as other distant areas of the state. As well as out of state too.

The article says "High End". Just curious but when the announcement for OKC was made, did it mention "high end"?

I think Saks Fifth Avenue Off Fifth is about as high end as an outlet mall is going to get. A high end outdoor mall would sound right.

Not sure if there is one, but I would like to request a New Balance shoe outlet store. They are the only athletic shoes I can wear.
