Trader Joes Tulsa?

Retailers don't seem to be very good at math. All they look at is average income and density. They don't understand how far we will drive for something new .

On that note, I hear the Anthropologie here is doing VERY well. They won some sort of award at Christmas from the company. Maybe, just maybe, some of these companies talk amongst themselves or rumors diffuse.

Until OKC de-annexes some rural land to get the density numbers up or figures out a way to sell the city to lazy market researchers, OKCitians are going to have to continue to live with our most coveted retailers opening in Tulsa first.

The Outlet Mall has many stores that are first time for Oklahoma. Von Maur is also a big win for OKC, which is Oklahoma's first. And if I am not mistaken, Lululemon in Classen Curve will be a Oklahoma first, for a full retail store, not just a showroom.

There are data tools available to give retailers a more granular picture of Oklahoma City's demographics. The issue is not at all land that must be de-annexed, it is that Oklahoma City's affluent areas are not concentrated into a single area. If we moved Gaillardia, the affluent subdivisions near Moore, Rose Creek and a handful of other affluent subdivisions in NW and NE OKC and grouped them between Heritage Hills and Nichols Hills, then the marketing departments would be salivating at the mouth to come to Oklahoma City before Tulsa.
