That's what Cain's seems to be doing to Chik-fil-a. They are right next to them in Quail Springs Mall and now they will be right next to them right outside the mall.

[Lafferty Daniel]

Same strategy with car dealerships.

That is something unique in OKC, in Austin and Denver it isn't as common. In many cases it is developer driven, it was with the developers that we worked with on Walgreen's stores in OKC. I know that from going to a Walgreen's architects meeting at their HQ (and I assume it is the same for CVS and Rite-Aid) that demographics matter the most, more so than a competitor nearby. I think for the developers it makes it an easier sell because there is established traffic in the area. If you think about it most grocery stores, Walmart and Target all have pharmacies, so there literally is competition on almost every corner already.

I have thought Golfsmith carried the best selection in clothing. As well as the main line (Nike, Adidas, Footjoy etc) they have their Snake Eyes brand of clothing and accessories. Good looking stuff that is usulayy a little cheaper than bigger brand stuff. That is just a personal opinion.

Also Dick's and Golf Galaxy are owned by the same people. Apologize if that has alredy been mentioned

[MonkeesFan]

Pretty cool but it is too far from me

[Dustin]

I always thought a Sprouts would've done good in that location.

Furniture stores all moving together to feed off each other's cracks me up!

The only thing that happened when all the furniture stores became bedfellows is
the Mattress Brothers incinerated them all with a short range nuclear weapon......

Now all the furniture stores that moved in together are now owned by the Mattress
Brothers, the mattress company is owned by Mattress Brothers......the others
are owned by relatives of the mattress brothers and the ones that aren't owned
by the mattress brothers buy all their inventory from the mattress brothers

Buy Buy Baby ?

Buy Baby to open their a Bed bath and Beyond needs to be in the Shopping Center.

[MonkeesFan]

Is it open yet?

I didn't really know where to put this since it really doesn't need a new thread. But investors are in the process of finalizing a deal to put a Top Golf type facility somewhere along the memorial corridor, most likely around Penn. No land has been bought yet but they do have concept drawings and should be a full service facility with bar/food/ect. They have been testing the technology out at Oak Tree National and it is just like top golf. I was able to view the plans and they are really cool as well. I see this as a 75% chance of getting green lit I just thought I would share with the board.

sad that it is not in or close to downtown

[Richard at Remax]

Nah its not sad. Land downtown would almost double the cost to build. Plus along with no one wanting to haul clubs to downtown and back, a lot a other people would complain it was wasted space due to the large footprint it will bring. Plus with the numerous golf stores and actually courses to close proximity of the desired area, it is a no brainer.

If boulder was being sarcastic, then well done... if not, then I agree with cook... this facility being downtown would be a horrible idea.

[Plutonic Panda]

I would love for this to be along the Memorial corridor. That would be great for the area! One thing I'd wish they would build is a TRUE Dave and Busters in Bricktown, that could include something like virtual golf.

[GoOKC1991]

Golfsmith files for bankruptcy, some stores could close.

Maybe this means I can get the new driver I want a lot cheaper.
