Oklahoma Factory Shoppes - I40 & Council

[mcca7596]

LOL, that's unfortunately probably just a matter of time, unless it really spurs development on the other side of I-40.

This center looks better than I expected. Here is a tour of the space:

Maybe the overflow inquiries can find solace at crossroads, lol

[lasomeday]

They will probably add on. There is room for them to expand. I can't wait to see what developments pop up infront of it.

How exciting!

the crossroads zombies seem to be on strike until their demands are meet, last I heard was they are trying to form a union, if that falls apart they will be heading over to the southern hills plaza shopping center, just fyi

zombies....form a union....falls apart

There HAS to be a good joke in their somewhere LOL

Light poles look to be in their final positions. I guess the one previous pole configuration and base was temporary for the short time they used the one lane of Reno for two way traffic. It's gone now and this one is on a different base. So there's the old base still needed to be removed from the new turn lane, the new base the other new pole light was on, empty now, and this new pole and base.

I wonder if that Braums and the other fast food joints get a much needed facelift soon, thanks to the opening of the outlet mall.

[Double Edge]

Thanks to the new outlet mall road construction, I'm surprised they haven't all closed their doors. Can't even begin to imagine how much this cost Braums. Their main entrance has been shut down for months, traffic in that little section of Council northbound is impossible. No one in their right mind would try to get in and out of the place. I wonder how many years and how much increased business it will take for them to break even, if they ever do?

[lasomeday]

DE, have they opened Reno up to all four lanes instead of just two at that intersection yet?

[jn1780]

Wouldn't be surprised if the braums is completely rebuilt soon.

[Double Edge]

Eastbound Reno approaching the intersection and northbound Council between I-40 and Reno are currently one lane with a left turn lane. Westbound and southbound are two lanes with a left turn lane.

rickys cafe announceed that they are building a new restaurant next to the outlet mall, called rickys tacos! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...type=1&theater

[Larry OKC]

If Braums was going to do that (not saying they aren't/won't), seems the best time would have been while they were essentially shut down anyway.

Didn't Ricky's close 2 of their locations? They had one up on Memorial in an old Burger King (across the street from taco Bueno. never made it into a Rickys yet.

That Braums added on a Fresh Market section a few years ago. I don't know if that would affect any remodeling plans but it was upgraded previously.

[mcca7596]

Every time I drove by in the morning, at lunch, and in the afternoon this past school year, there were a fair to large amount of vehicles in Braum's parking lot. I don't think they came close to shutting down.

[Double Edge]

I can say the opposite. I went by there many a time, prime time, especially rush hour and the lot was empty. Their main entrance off Council is closed still. Getting on and off Council in the one lane between I-40 and Council is and has been a nightmare. You can only access it by cutting through the Shell lot which is also a nightmare; or access off Reno, which was also closed, down to one lane part of the time. And then you have to drive a mile farther to turn around to come back to the Reno Council intersection or go another direction. Much of the usual Council traffic has spilled to Rockwell and Morgan to avoid the Council intersection altogether so whatever that traffic might have brought went with the construction. Good thing it wasn't a sole proprietor at that location.

[lasomeday]

DE, I don't think any of the traffic has diverted to Morgan. That area is a mess with the construction on the interstate and having little on and off ramp to merge onto the highway. I think it is all going to Rockwell.

[Double Edge]

I've gone to Morgan and doubled back a number of times when I forgot to exit Rockwell. I have an employee that lives west of Council at 10th and diverts to Morgan or Rockwell, depending.

edit to add: Good news. Construction will be over soon but like most road construction, it would have been a lot sooner if it had been manned properly, which it wasn't. Many days there were no crews working and many days there were a couple people working on one corner with all four shut down.

[SkyWestOKC]

Drove by today. Looking good. Can't wait for it to open.
