I agree with LandArchPoke.

Trendy stores like Costco, Trader Joe's, H&M, Urban Outfitters, etc are in a different category than your low-end mall stores like Tilly's and the Garage or outdoor enthusiast stores like Cabela's and Bass Pro. While it's true that OKC doesn't lose out every time, enough of the trendy retailers do go to Tulsa first that this question is legitimate and it isn't pure misconception like a few have said that it is.

If you want to include low-end stores and regional chains, I am sure there are MANY that Tulsa has that OKC doesn't and many that OKC has that haven't made this list. For instance, if Hemisphere's can be listed for OKC then Reasor's should be listed for Tulsa.

Tulsa gets big time bragging rights for Costco, especially as Wal-Mart dominated as this state is. Urban Outfitters would have been a much bigger deal five years ago when it was at the peak of its popularity but they still get bragging rights for it. Trader Joe's will also be a big deal and currently all rumors point to them going to Tulsa first. H&M will be a huge deal for whatever city gets it first.

OKC gets bragging rights for TopGolf, Main Event, and Pappadeaux.
