Half of the stuff is already built with a Sam's Club, Wal Mart, Showbiz Theatre, Hospitals, etc.
I think Outback moved to Memorial because there was a parcel and better "stopping" traffic along Memorial corridor for a chain restaurant. South of 33rd and Broadway is a difficult sell for any food place since traffic is flying by at 60 MPH and few in Edmond "back track" down to the south end to eat.
Also, Memorial with QSM, and an abundance of chain store shopping with easy access off the turnpike, Outback probably gets a lot of traffic from out of town visitors who don't venture far from what the "safe", yet predictable food fare.
