Great news. Speaking of the retail recruitment thread, let's all blast them an email to locate a few stores here. I just did.

[icecold]

I am not sure it would work here. Seems citizens here dont really like fast food or fried things. This is a more of a salad/noodles kind of town where people like walk and bike everywhere they go. Its a shame.

Post your link here.. I'll be more than happy to send my request there way as well.

active pedestrian type of town where everyone eats salad and noodles, eh? didnt realize okc has a sister city affiliation with, Naples, Italy.

you may want to recheck your info, cause according to what another poster is indicating, were actually the lardass capital of america.

The poster was laying on the sarcasm pretty thick there!!!!

I sent my email to In-N-Out.

I did inform them of our huge success rate for fast food restaurants and asked that we move to the top of their expansion list.

get ready Edmond, cause in out burgers real estate department is sure to take note of the prosperous economic climate of your town in stark contrasting relation to the rest of the OKC area. They will assuredly see that edmond is rather commercially vibrant (has a boatload ass of money from the residents that live there), and thats where the first in and out burger will go.

edmond was the first city in okc area to get a steak and shake, so the logic will reasonably follow suit.

personally, i think norman should get "the first of everything".

1. huge college town
2. 3rd most populous city in oklahoma
3. close proximity to okc area
4. the most travelled highway stretch in the state (okc to dallas) cuts right thru the heart of town.

but, edmond will always prevail over norman. they seem to have more clout (bka money)

[okclee]

Did you inform them we are the "fast food capital" and also the "most unfit" city?

We should be a slam dunk for any and all fast food restaurants wanting to expand. They should be begging to get into our market.

I will send them an email too and remind them of Who we are, Okc!

makes perfect sense considering the huge influx of california transplants that north texas has been getting in recent years.

it wouldnt surprise me if the person who is bringing the franchise over to the lone star state is also a california transplant as well.

for those who have never ate there, its really nothing special. a very basic burger menu: a hamburger, a cheeseburger, and like 3 different flavors of shakes. thats its. no speciality burgers like carls jr. just basic, nostalgic 1950's-esque burger joint.

i used to take their bumper stickers and remove the B and R from them so that it spells out "In and out URGE"

[Spartan]

Perhaps the reason In-N-Out isn't in Oklahoma is because of our laws forbidding brothels.

[venture]

OMG YAY! Just what we need another fast food joint to make this city even fatter.

I was sure to tell them to stay away.

Canned response, hopefully they really are forwarded.

Canned response, hopefully they really are forwarded.

like those stupid sweepstakes letters you get in your junk mail where they print your name in 1 inch high bold letters 57 times on the front and back of the letter they send you.

[JMStranger]

More fast food? Really?

[CuatrodeMayo]

A sofa-sized avatar? Really?

[OUman]

^Do we really need yet another fat-food chain here? Really? (No, the "fat-food" is not a typo ).

[bluedogok]

Why not?

Freedom of choice is what makes America great, if you don't want to eat there, then don't. There are plenty of options for everyone and they seem to grow through the entire spectrum.

[onthestrip]

I dont think we have to worry about more fast food from In n Out. They are just talking about opening a store in Dallas. That puts us at least 10 years away from being considered. Do you honestly think an exclusive west coast chain that's only in like 3 states is going to make OK the 5th state?

[CuatrodeMayo]

Lee's Sandwiches did.

[Steve]

Ah yes, but Lee's has a huge demographic here - the Vietnamese community. In-and-Out would need a huge population of peo...

OH, NEVER MIND. I GUESS THEY'LL BE COMING SOON.

[Joe Kimball]

10-1 Edmond or Norman get one before OKC; even money as to whether Edmond or Norman are first.

I had In-N-Out yesterday in Dallas for the first time. I have to say I am not sure what the hype is about. It has to be one of the most disgusting burgers I have ever had. I was actually nauseous after eating it. If they never come to OKC that's more than fine with me. Places like Republic and S&B have some of the best burgers I've ever eaten.

We had them in San Francisco several years back and can't seem to get a grasp why people think the sun rises and sets around them ? Nothing special about them other than they were open late at night.
