Campus Corner

[Pete]

Couldn't find a thread dedicated to Campus Corner so thought I'd start one.


Not sure if this has already been talked about but CVS is closing on Campus Corner.

Don't know why or when but the decision has been made.


Very strange and somewhat disappointing.

A group of chain-wide closings. Last day they'll be open is March 25.

But...but...but... Where will we go for cheap tall boys now on game days???

Was that CVS even open for very long?

I can't remember exactly. I'm thinking 2013, maybe 2014. Could've been 2012.

[FighttheGoodFight]

It was 2014

It was 2014

I walked by and was shocked it was closed. The couple times I went in there the line was always 5 deep.


Curious how Sandro's pizza is doing. Its pretty good pizza but the place always seems empty when I go by. The one on main always has a decent crowd.

Quote from OU Daily:

CVS cashier Victoria Inman said the store will close its doors March 25 due to lack of business and therefore an inability to afford rent.

Construction has started on the building Pita Pit was in. My coworker stopped by and asked what was going in. They said a Grilled Cheese Restaurant and bar. He didn't get a name though. Poster in window claims it's going to be open by spring and will include a 2nd floor. Has anyone heard anything about this?

Hopefully something like Hammontree's.

Othello's lost their roof due to a fire likely started by lightning during Saturday morning's storms.

Hopefully something like Hammontree's.

What is Hammontree's?

The Chickasaw Nation has bought Casa Blanca at the corner of Boyd and Jenkins

Skinny Slim's and Opolis Clothing both are set to open this Friday from what I am hearing. They share the old Sunshine Market building across from Volaire.

Finally! Got to hit up Skinny Slims ASAP.

This will add needed density to the east along Boyd St. I would love to see more development like this along University Blvd in the future.

yeah you probably like those horrible generic minidorms festering the campus area. that high rise next to the Deli is lame and stupid don't you think. The pizza sucks too. Heard they bought the oven in Italy. I used to live in Rome, they don't know what the &^%$ they're doing. Sad a cool town like Norman is too close to the greed merchants in OKC.
