Norman, has a lot more upscale citizens than most towns (Drive around the town and see the beautiful neighborhoods and large homes). Also a lot of the horse rancher folks ($$$)from out in the sticks will come to North Park and shop at the "upscale stores".
Don't forget the wealthy influx of Sooner fans who come out for weekends at Norman several times each year. Football games could be absolutely huge for an upscale retail store which offers something these fans can't find at home.
