Red Robin coming to metro

[metro]

For those of you who didn't catch the JR or OKC Business articles, Red-Robin, a Colorado based gourmet burger and bar chain, have entered the OKC market. Their first store should open up on Ed-Noble Parkway in Norman in July and then at the sprawling Penn and Memorial area in the fall.

Metro, is this Penn and Memorial location one of the plots adjacent to PF Changs?

[metro]

Decious, as I understand it, it is TBA, although I seriously doubt it because the other two remaining buildings have already started to go up so two things: 1. they could be well open before November, and 2. they typically build their own buildings with the traditional round front and these buildings do not look like a Red Robin, my guess is they will be closer to the mall and they are still site selecting.

Cool, sounds good. For the record, Metro you're doing great work. You're a valuable asset to OKCtalk.

Great. Another chain. Forgive me if I don't get too excited.
