I've been seeing a lot of people in flat caps around here these days. I think Sid has pushed the trend forward in OKC...

Betts, you'll have to forgive my ignorance, but what in the world is a blow out bar? It sounds just absolutely filthy...

When one goes in to a salon with clean, dry hair and gets it styled, it's called a blow out. Many of the blow out salons serve wine or champagne, hence the "bar" part of the name.

Thanks very much for the answer.

Waffle Champion updated their facebook page cover photo to this:



They've also posted the following reply several times recently on their twitter page:

"on schedule to move in the first of June n' open a few weeks after that!"

[Praedura]

On a similar note...

DryShop has posted a pic on their fb page that seems to be definite hint:



Also, a nice shot of their window signage:

We're doing the audio system and I must say, it is going to be an awesome place. I suspect it will become a local institution.

DryShop posted a few construction pics on their fb page:







And a rendering of what the space will look like some day (soon):

Waffle Champion still waffling away...

Great name. Great logo. Great location. I expect it to be a big hit.

[Praedura]

Now I have to ask what may be a really, really dumb question: will books go into that bookshelf?

I mean, it could just be for decorative items - knick knack thingys.

But if it really is for books, then how will it be used? Will they sell them (i.e. an internal bookstore)? Or just place old books & magazines there so the patrons can peruse through them while munching their lunch?

Just curious.

Syrup?

Concrete for the new walkway and patio about to be poured:

Syrup?

Hey, that could be it. If they're going to be offering a wide selection of syrups, then yeah, why not have a big shelf loaded with bottles showing the different flavors.

North entrance officially cut:



Watch your step there fellow!

[Praedura]

Things are moving quickly now!

Ok, that north entrance has a door now:




And the sidewalk/patio has been poured:




On the inside, we see the future home to Oklahoma's first Maine Root soda fountain machine:

By the way, I've never heard of Maine Root, so I had to look it up.

They've got a page here that should explain it all:

Maine Root Handcrafted Beverages

Looks interesting and certainly will be at least somewhat unique.

I predict a smash success for Waffle Champion.

Some recent interior shots for the Dry/Shop from their facebook page:

It's a tall space:




The feature wall above the blow dry bar area:




Painting the feature wall:




Answering someone's question about that wall, they say:

...this isn't wallpaper. It's wood paneling with different levels and then painted stripes.
It was designed by Fitzsimmons arch in Okc.
