What Businesses Would You Like To See Here?

Einstein Brothers

I'd like a Ralph Lauren Rugby store here. Backwoods has a bunch of the brands mentioned. I haven't been to the Red Coyote at CC but I believe they have atletic gear, just don't know what kind.

The regular line of RL stores actually cover a TON of the Rugby stuff. I'm not sure if we'd be able to get a Rugby-exclusive store though, because they tend to keep those in cities on par with LA/Houston/Dallas/DC/Boston/etc.

California Pizza Kitchen and Sprinkles Cupcakes (for dessert after that awesome pizza!)

I would love to bring a Five Guys Burger place here to OKC....

[okclee]

Have you sent them an email?

If so what did they say?

I would also vote for the Five Guys Burgers. Do not care for their fries, but the Burgers were great.

They are franchising all over the place now. They have a location in Dallas now also. I was in Columbus, OH last week for a conference and they have several. Previously I believe they were really on the east coast (DC was the first place I had it).

Nah, I had them in Colorado, I'm pretty sure they have more out west as well.

metro.. for the first 15 years or so... Five Guys only operated in DC, VA, and Maryland... That is what I was referring to. The have expanded like crazy the last 5-10 years...

Five Guys Burgers

Don't they have to open a restaurant in Tulsa first before opening one in OKC?

I just saw them mentioned on a television news segment about unhealthy eating. That's just what OKC needs after being castigated recently about being the fattest city in the US.

On a related note regarding new businesses. Saw an article in todays DO. Sounds like retailers are taking a second look at OKC. See below.

It will be interesting to see what comes of this.

Speaking of REI commercials on local radio popping up, I've also heard Ruth Chris' commercials on KTOK here recently as well.

[Larry OKC]

have heard Ruth Chris commercials on the Twister for well over a year now. Local station but guess they have national ads (like local tv that keeps running the Dairy Queen ones).

[metro]

Larry, DQ runs on local TV because they have locations in Chickasha and other towns which are still in the OKC TV market.

[Larry OKC]

That is true but what about the Ruth Chris commercials I heard on the Twister or as you mentioned, KTOK? Where is a Ruth Chris in their listening area? There location map doesn't show any in Oklahoma (DFW and Rogers Ark, look like they are the closest).

Although not what you would call a "firm" business, as in, buildings and stores, and such.

I would like to see AirTran Airways here, this could go in the OKC Discussion thread, but I think this is more appropriate. I have sent an email off to AirTran just as we are doing on these threads with other businesses. I realized yesterday when booking my trip to Tampa, just how sky-high the fares are. I would like to see some lower prices to the Southeast, and that is what AirTran could do.
