    I'd rather see Apollos, or a Boomers.

    DQ as in Dairy Queen? Dont they have a location just a quarter mile to the south of that location already. Apologies in advance if I have misunderstood.

    It was a joke... That DQ has been open for 5 months now and there can still be a substantial line at the drive-thru.

    I haven't seen it backed up in the street for a couple of months but 10-15 cars is still common.

    I think it's going to be a Braum's Super Duper Center.... They heard they are on the way out so they decided to move closer to the "competition" to keep an eye on them.

    Apologies, I have just recently moved to the area and missed the joke.

    Well fortunately you missed the DQ traffic jams too.... 19th Street from Broadway to Telephone road has more congestion than Mucinex could cure. When DQ opened it had parts of Telephone road closed too.

    Now if we could just get a White Castle in Moore I could become a one man traffic jam!

    Here is the Fritts Farm response on FB

    Hi Louis - The City of Moore cleaned the creek area. Then we are in negotiations with a potential tenant for the vacant lot. But I am unable to say more about it until the lease is executed. We think we are close but it isn't done and it could fail at the last minute. Will advise as soon as we can.

    This is a rather sad statement about the City of Moore that a DQ would generate this much excitement.

    Yeah, I think it pretty much spoke volumes for the entire metro.

    Good portion were from other parts of the metro. Most were just in line so they could post about it on Facebook.

    I would agree with Easy. When a place like that opens people follow the hype that it brings and start coming from all around the metro. Now months after it has been open you just have the people in the Moore area using it and like BBQ said that has made it much more accessible (have gone twice and was in and out in under 5 minutes!) I just moved in behind the Warren and I am still learning the best ways around the area as Telephone is surprisingly busy. As far as the lots concerned I will go ahead and say its going to be an all you can eat Chinese buffet. Since we don't have enough of those in the metro already....

    To be fair I don't think there's been one on 19th St. since the one near Kohls closed. I-240 is more of the "Buffet Row". lol

    Huh? What's so sad about it? Moore got what everyone else in the OKC Metro area wanted first. The City gained a lot of tax dollars from a lot of people that live outside of Moore that they might not have gotten otherwise.

    I asked one of the managers at Chick-fil-a and he says it'll be a Verizon store. His story was similar to the info above in that there are still some loose ends before a definite announcement can be made.

    It has been confirmed on Fritts Farm Facebook page, it will be a Verizon store. They have posted plans for the building.
