Oklahoma Factory Shoppes - I40 & Council

I think Target carries a line of Converse clothing. It looks pretty cool.

Story on KOCO says the Outlet Shoppes are set to open in August 2011 now

This project is really moving along and it is looking better than the renderings.

They show that Primo's is going in there. Are they moving their Yukon location, or will it be an additional one? It seems like that would be 2 of them awfully close together...

I'm betting on an additional one....

Your point? I think there will be enough people at the mall to justify it.

It is almost seven miles from the current location, given how busy the yukon one is it would be a risk to ask your customer base you have built up over many years to drive that far out of their way when their are already other italian options in yukon and you only have 3 total locations. The area area of the shop while does have some yukon customers is predominately from other cities so adding a new one seems the better idea.

[Double Edge]

There's not any Italian food places in the area now, they will do fine. I personally would rather have a Carrinos but I eat at Primos every now and then and will continue. Especially with an option closer than Yukon.

[Larry OKC]

May not be any closer for you but doesn't Primo's have a couple of other locations? Think over by Tinker and another on SW 74th access road?

That indeed they do! It's an exclusive line, called One Star. Whereas The common is ALL Star. looks good and a bit leseer priced at TARGET. They even have the latest cool slip on canvas tennis shoe that still has the the shoe lace grommets, but no shoe laces.

An interesting article on Outlet shopping. I'm really surprised that Nordstrom isn't placing a Nordstrom Rack in the OKC area. It would fit well in the Norman or Quail Springs area.

[Jettmiester]

Very nice. I like the design alot now. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Looks a lot better than the renderings but it kind of reminds me of a huge Taco Bell

Unfortunately the Taco Bell looks to have better fit and finish than the new mall.

[mcca7596]

True, it would be neat if there could have just been some stone along the bottom of the mall like that Taco Bell.

You might want to consider that the mall isn't finished yet before making final comparisons.

[jn1780]

It does look like a Taco Bell, except for the colors not being as bright.

[Jettmiester]

Taco bell? nah. Reminds me of a 1930's art deco-ish World's Fair pavilion. Have you seen Fair Park in Dallas? I think there is alot to apreciate in it's simple design....so far.

While they are not finished with construction they are sticking close enough to the conceptual artwork I am not expecting a drastic improvement.

I have no problem with either the conceptual artwork or the current look. It's an outlet mall afterall. Everyone will have different ideas about what design is appropriate. My main concern is that it is successful and contributes to OKC's economy.
