Popshelf

[Pete]

“It's like Target and a dollar store had a baby.”

That's a common description of pOpshelf, a new discount chain bringing its first Oklahoma stores to the Westgate Marketplace at I-40 and MacArthur and Choctaw Plaza on 23rd.

Popshelf has an aggressive expansion strategy; it's likely there will be more stores around the OKC area.

They feature seasonal and home decor, health and beauty, home cleaning supplies, party goods, pet items, entertaining needs and non-perishable food.

Started in 2020 by Dollar General, they aim to increase their current 134 stores in 13 states to more than 1,000 in the next few years.

I suspect this will be a teacher's paradise!

I thought the same thing, good for them though, they need all the help they can get with supplies and such. Looks a lot nicer than FiveBelow which I know is pretty popular.

Looks more like Dollar General's response to Dollar Tree's "Five Below" concept.

I wish we didn't rely on already underpaid teachers to also purchase their own school supplies. Out of the 10 adults in my immediate family, 5 are teachers and it is insane the amount they spend on providing for their students since the schools refuse to. If people want to give teachers a raise of a few hundred - couple thousand, just provide school supplies so they don't have to cover those costs.

On another note, FiveBelow is awesome! I love going there for quick gifts for my nieces. They have these different science kits that are only like $5-10.

Also, it's great that the popshelf is going to be just like two stores away from the FiveBelow (I think in the old DSW?).

I think right now it is empty. It was a DSW.

Where exactly is Choctaw Plaza? I am unsure if I have visited there. Thanks!

NE 23rd near Choctaw Road.

I will never shop there but it does look cool, maybe I will recommend the store to my friends and family if they are looking for something

Checked out the Choctaw location. I think it opened within the last week. Pretty neat store w/good prices. I was impressed by the home goods and decor. Things that would normally be $25+ at places like Hobby Lobby or Target are just $5-$15 here.

Not sure if it was mentioned elsewhere, but Popshelf is going in the space South of JC Penny in Moore.

[Pete]

The first Popshelf in the state is now open at 14437 NE 23rd in Choctaw.

The next two planned are for Moore (just south of JC Penney) and I-40 and MacArthur (between Best Buy and Ross). Several more are planned throughout Oklahoma.
