Confirmation of an OKC location does away with the concern that the liquor laws would prevent it, so it's a good thing.

The recessed lighting is good.  Throw in that big lake and its a deal.

Well,  there's six pages of discussion about it just on this forum, so obviously a few people do.

I've never been to one. So my curiosity is the amount of passion this writer at the World has for a new store. What is the World shattering, life changing effect this and Cosco are going to make for our backward lifestyle here in Tulsa?

I won't argue that these new businesses are life changing but as someone born and raised here it is awesome to see Tulsa finally (slowly) catching up. It's nice not to have to travel to KC or Dallas to shop at some of these stores.

Costco will absolutely show that retail CAN pay a reasonable wage and still be financially successful - putting the lie, as any thinking person already knew - to the whole crock of carp that raising the minimum wage is bad for the economy.  That would be kind of exciting...just not sure many of our fellow citizens will understand it.  Since they keep electing Failin'/Kern/Inhofe, and their ilk.

Trader Joe's - haven't been to one either.  Their attitude looks like fun, though.  And I do like Hawaiian shirts - would never wear anything else if I didn't have an "office job".  Besides being just plain ole comfy, they are great for concealed carry!!

Probably would have to spend a lot of time in southern CA or WA to appreciate the TJ's phenom...

I shopped at Trader Joe's a few times, but was never really impressed, especially when the fruits and veggies that were over priced spoiled less than 3 days after purchasing, and having employees there ask me to not were my deodorant as the found commercially made ones offensive.

Trader Joe's is a lot like a bowl of Granola.

Costco I like because they have employees that are pleasant and helpful and seem to like working there as opposed to the zombies at Sams club who couldn't care less.

Without Three Buck Chuck, I honestly cannot think of any reason I’d need to drive past Reasor’s, Sprouts, and Whole Paycheck to shop there.
