Dave & Buster's coming to OKC

[soonerliberal]

crate & barrell would be better than all of those, imo.

yes.

[muzique808]

I have several friends that would love to see a Container Store. I haven't visited one yet, but they travel to DFW regularly and that is one of the stops.

Supposively container store has already committed to OKC

[onthestrip]

I could see container store in the old Borders. The Dave & Busters site could potentially bring in new tenants as well. If they dont screw it up.

[Soonerman]

Now if OKC can just get a Dick's sporting goods.

Yeah at the old Salvation Army site across from Penn Square Mall, from what I've heard.

Love the chatter about The Container Store. I think Restoration Hardware and Crate and Barrel would both be great for OKC, closest in competition but still different places.

I hope we will get Dick's sporting goods soon, now that they will open up a store in Broken Arrow soon.

I'm not familiar with Dick's. What do they provide that we don't currently have available?

Quality selection and sporting goods.

Maybe they can put a second Dave and Buster's inside and near the back corner of the the first Dick's Sporting Goods or Container Store. Then the D&B fans could have more than one place to play games w/o fighting the Chucky Cheesers.

On the D&B's website, it says the OKC location is opening in December. Good to see they plan on working quickly.

Except that would make them about a mile apart.

It would also bring much needed competition to Academy in OKC.

[LuccaBrasi]

Amen to that! Academy needs some serious competition.

I thought there was already a Dick's Sporting Goods store up on Memorial next to Pep Boys...

That giant hole in the ground?!?! No.

Think there was a sporting goods store at that location (but don't think it was Dick's). Whatever it was it didn't last, think they had the store closing mid to late 2010??

[citizenkane]

I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Sportsman's Warehouse.

[mrktguy29]

and it has closed.

[MikeOKC]

Dick's Sporting Goods had signed on to the (now dead) proposed center south of Memorial near Quail Springs Mall. So from that alone we know they want to be here.

[Larry OKC]

Thanks Citizenkane, thats the one I was thinking of...

I don't think it's been mentioned yet, but Whataburger and Jack and the Box are going to be the two pad site restaurants. (Yawn).

[onthestrip]

Will be interested to see the finished product of this development. It has a ton of potential but Im not sure we will get to see that.

A new Whataburger isnt all bad. They have done a great job of turning things around the last few years, one of the better fast food joints IMO. I imagine they will close the Whataburger on 37ish and May.

NICE! I hate driving down to 36th to get Whataburger cause there used to be one on May (currently a Sonic resides) before it took fire.
