Westgate Marketplace

Is that what they're doing. I noticed the utility work being done in line with the electrical lines and didn't think anything about it. Do they have a sign up?

Yes, there is a Westgate sign just past the GardenRidge entrance on MacArthur.

[metro]

Haven't noticed, but that side of the highway has despirately needed to be developed.

I'm attaching an aerial of the proposed Westgate development around the Garden Ridge area. I got this a year ago, I was interested in a hotel there, but, well, that just didn't happen for us unfortunately.

I can't get the pdf to open, anyone have any other info on westgate, or maybe someone could paste the pic here if the file is'nt to big? Thanks.

Their website has an aerial and site plan.

I don't know why the pdf I attached won't download, it has worked for me on two different computers.

The aerial I have shows the site plan for the area around the Garden Ridge, which the one on the website does not.

Let me try to convert it to JPEG and see if that works.

I am using Safari and it the pdf file opened just fine for me. For those that cannot open it. No retail is listed on the site south of I-40. The pad sites are hotels and restaurants. There is a 350 unit apartment complex slotted 1/4 mile south of Gardenridge.

I do not think they are going to get too many restaurants to move there unless they convince existing ones to move there from Meridian.

I converted the PDF to JPG and then cropped out the area around Garden Ridge since that is what's missing from the aerial on there website, but I can't upload it here since I used up my quota on that PDF.

If anyone else wants to post it, I can email it to them (its about 400k).

Thats what I was thinking too. I'm even more surprised at any new retail space since they're having such a hard time leasing the space north of I-40 in front of Home Depot. I hope they continue with the project though since I use westgate for alot of shopping. Any new restaurants would be great too. But with the new hotels going in along the river at Meridian I wonder how many more hotels rooms they can build before they reach saturation in that area? Anyone know when those hotels will open? Long term I think this is a great area to see gowth in---short-term I'm not so sure.

Between Meridian and everything that's gone in in Yukon around Garth Brooks, I don't know of many restaurants that aren't already in the general area.

[metro]

It may have been mentioned in one of the other 6 threads on Westgate Marketplace, but Steak N' Shake is building a location in Westgate.

[Snowman]

It looks like it will not be hard to find a hotel room in the area after they are done. I do like the optimism that every light in the area will be green.

Does anyone know what is going in at Westgate Plaza towards I-40 and towards Reno. I know Plato's Closet. What else?

[Kemotblue]

What stores are opening up in Westgate Plaza I saw a large addition to the Complex of several big box retailers. A few of the Pad sites in the parking lots are being developed so which restaurants are also being added I assume they are restaurants being their footprint size.

I saw that OKC is getting a New to Oklahoma retailer only Found in Major cities across the US. Its a Novelty type store called Five Below. Everything is $5 dollars or less in the store.

I've been to Five Below in NJ. It's basically an "upscale" dollar store, if one could even imagine such a thing. Meh. Though I'm sure it'll serve a purpose for some folks, so that's good, I guess.

[shawnw]

So it's a family dollar/dollar general?

[Kemotblue]

Yeah more in the lines from looking at their social media pages and company website that its a cross between a Dollar Tree and a Party Galaxy.

Five below targets teens and pre-teens primarily.

Has almost 400 stores nationwide but this would be the first in Oklahoma.

They usually come into a market with multiple locations, so I suspect more will be popping up very soon.

They are a solid operator, if not sexy.

Firehouse Subs coming to this complex.

Are they any good?

How do they compare to other sub/hoagy/grinder/po boy places?

Pretty much a fast food sandwich. It's a notch above Subway and compares pretty well to Jimmy John's.

IMO one of the best. I'll choose them over all the other big boys, Subway/Jersey Mikes/City Bites/etc.

Agree. I really like their sandwiches, especially their hot subs.
