Target at SW 44 and S. Western

Just saw plans were released for Dollar Tree to take approximately 12,000 square feet of the old Target next to Ace for a store. Here is a Key Plan for the area they will occupy.

It keeps getting worse.

You prefer blight over active retail?

I don't see that as the only alternative.

I don't see that as the only alternative.

So your objection is it being Dollar Tree then? Sorry, don't see Von Maur moving to that area.

Dollar Tree seems appropriate for this building.

I sure wish Target would build a store off I-44 close to the airport.

They need to build a super target near I44 and SW 104th.

Exactly!

Exactly!

I'm kind of puzzled why Target didn't build a new store out that way. The closest Target to the Southside now is in Moore.

[SouthSide]

I find it strange Target didn't select another location in south OKC. I used to shop Target weekly. After they closed the south OKC location, I didn't shop at the Moore location for years and even now i only shop there a few times a year. WInco thought they would pull residents from south OKC in greater numbers than they do, as well.

There are plans for a trampoline park to take all the remaining space that had once been a Target. Autozone took a big chunk, as did Dollar Tree.

Glad to see this building pretty full but it's so sad to think just a few years ago there was both a Sears and Target at this intersection.
