    BTW, should probably add the Tile Shop to Tulsa first.

    That's a rumor much like Trader Joe's. It has not yet been officially announced.

    Tulsa is also getting the first Garage clothing store in Oklahoma at Woodlands Hills ( they're mainly in the east coast and Canada)

    Yes.

    Can't believe we left that off. It's now on the list. Thanks.

    Surprised that QuikTrip in Tulsa hasn't been mentioned yet and that Pottery Barn came to OKC before tulsa

    QuickTrip is a completely different animal because the specifically agreed not to come to OKC in a handshake agreement with the OKC 7/11 franchise owner.

    And I'm not sure if we want to get into convenience stores on this list. If we did, we'd have to add a whole most more for both cities.

    I do think Reasor's should be listed as a Tulsa exclusive. It's significant and would be in the OKC metro (Edmond) if not for NIMBYs.

    went into a Reasors the other day and it really was nothing special. Just a slightly better Homeland.

    Depends on the store. Some of their older stores, like the one by Grand Lake in Langley, are about the same as a Homeland. There are a few in the Tulsa area that are just slightly better. Their new stores though are pretty nice, like larger Uptown Grocery's and more similar to newer HEB stores in Texas. I've only been to the newer one in Jenks though. Evidently they are planning on building an even nicer one in midtown by Brookside (former Food Pyramid).

    The one I went to was on Harvard... It would be nice to have them here though. More options is never a bad thing.

    Does Reasor's have any stores like the Homeland at 18th and Classen or on NW 122nd and May?

    The entire Homeland brand suffers because they have so many stores they have just let go to crap despite having a few stores that are pretty decent.

    The point of this thread was to compare national retailers and which markets they choose.

    Local chains don't really factor into that discussion.

    You mean things that factor for Tulsa? (This will probably get deleted by Pete)
