Outdoors retailer coming to RiverWalk

The new location for Lewis & Clark Outfitters will be its first in Oklahoma.
Lewis & Clark Outfitters, an upscale outdoors and sporting goods store operating out of Arkansas, will be the anchor store for phase two of Jenks' RiverWalk Crossing shopping center.
The Springdale, Ark.-based chain has three locations, and is opening a fourth in Arkansas, but the RiverWalk store will be its first outside of its home state.
Lewis & Clark features equipment and apparel for outdoor activities including hiking, camping, cycling, rock climbing and paddlesports, according to its Web site.
Jerry Gordon, developer of RiverWalk Crossing, said Tuesday in a telephone interview that various other retail stores have committed to the shopping center since hearing about Lewis & Clark.
Changes in the architecture for phase two caused some delay in moving forward with construction, Gordon said.
"The anchor tenant changed the design of our building. We had to redesign our building totally to fit them," Gordon said.
The building anchored by Lewis & Clark will include five other businesses, he said.
Jeff Kaste, leasing agent for RiverWalk Crossing, said earth-moving should begin within two weeks.
Phase one of the shopping center is considered fully leased with the recent addition of three new business concepts, Kaste said.
Photographic Designs Gallery, a photography studio, opens Tuesday.
Two more tenants -- Ale Haus European Grill and Pub; and The Stonehouse Gallery, an art, furniture and home decor retailer -- both are scheduled to open May 1.
An agreement with another major phase two tenant is still in the works. RiverWalk officials said they are close to wrapping up that deal.
The tenant is negotiating for nearly 14,000 square feet of commercial space at RiverWalk, and will include American cuisine with live music, a dance floor, billiards and other games, he said.
Plans for a 204-unit apartment complex and a 50-unit condominium project on the northern end of RiverWalk Crossing are nearing completion as well, Gordon said.
Construction began on phase one of RiverWalk Crossing in August 2003, and was completed in December 2004.

Lewis & Clark is a ****ing sweet store. They have a super cool rock climbing wall. I bet they had to change the architecture for that. They may well become the next Eddie Bauer.
I remember buying boy scout supplies from their Fayetteville location when I was in elementary.

From the look of the other stores, it looks like they adapt to the architecture of the center they are in instead of just making it look like a giant lincoln logs set like another outdoor store does.
Good, NOW I bet this phase 2 of the development will really get underway. I figured he just needed to get a major tennant locked in and then others would follow and once that happened he could get rolling. Great news.

LOL, yes you are correct. I am the one who has a bad memory. I actually got my boyscout supplies from Pack Rat (which is actually in Fayetteville), not Lewis and Clark. Lewis and Clark is by Lake Fayetteville.
Any guesses on the tenant that they are working on?? When I saw it said games the first place I thought of was Dave & Busters.

I hope so, or it could be another Toby Keith thing. D&B (big kids version of Incredible Pizza) would be a great addition to any development.

Don't count on the Toby Keith venture. He is commited to Cherokee Casino, scheduled to open in 2009. I don't see him having two in the area.
D&B would work.
We keep seeing D&B commercials on tv (cable channels not local channels) and we have been wondering if one was coming to the area.
Sweet, something which hasn't become over-hyped or drecky like BPS.
Aren't we on the slate for a Cabella's in the area as well? Not that we need one.
You all are sadly mistaken if you think northeast Oklahoma can't handle a Bass Pro, Cabela's and Lewis and Clark. This place is a mecca for hunting and fishing. How in the world Oklahoma City got a Bass Pro is beyond me. That cess pool doesn't have one thousandth the outdoor opportunities we have here in the eastern part of the state.
OKC got about the smallest Bass Pro Shop possible at 110,000 SF. Even the Broken Arrow store is 135,000 SF and has so much more inside like a giant waterfall.
there is still talk of bringing Cabella's to Bixby. something about a bridge is holding it up.

This?
The Three Billy Goats Gruff
Once upon a time there were three billy goats, who were to go up to the hillside to make themselves fat, and the name of all three was "Gruff."
On the way up was a bridge over a cascading stream they had to cross; and under the bridge lived a great ugly troll , with eyes as big as saucers, and a nose as long as a poker.
So first of all came the youngest Billy Goat Gruff to cross the bridge.
"Trip, trap, trip, trap! " went the bridge.
"Who's that tripping over my bridge?" roared the troll .
"Oh, it is only I, the tiniest Billy Goat Gruff , and I'm going up to the hillside to make myself fat," said the billy goat, with such a small voice.
"Now, I'm coming to gobble you up," said the troll.
"Oh, no! pray don't take me. I'm too little, that I am," said the billy goat. "Wait a bit till the second Billy Goat Gruff comes. He's much bigger."
"Well, be off with you," said the troll.
A little while after came the second Billy Goat Gruff to cross the bridge.
Trip, trap, trip, trap, trip, trap, went the bridge.
"Who's that tripping over my bridge?" roared the troll.
"Oh, it's the second Billy Goat Gruff , and I'm going up to the hillside to make myself fat," said the billy goat, who hadn't such a small voice.
"Now I'm coming to gobble you up," said the troll.
"Oh, no! Don't take me. Wait a little till the big Billy Goat Gruff comes. He's much bigger."
"Very well! Be off with you," said the troll.
But just then up came the big Billy Goat Gruff .
Trip, trap, trip, trap, trip, trap! went the bridge, for the billy goat was so heavy that the bridge creaked and groaned under him.
"Who's that tramping over my bridge?" roared the troll.
"It's I! The big Billy Goat Gruff ," said the billy goat, who had an ugly hoarse voice of his own.
"Now I 'm coming to gobble you up," roared the troll.
Well, come along! I've got two spears,
And I'll poke your eyeballs out at your ears;
I've got besides two curling-stones,
And I'll crush you to bits, body and bones.
That was what the big billy goat said. And then he flew at the troll, and poked his eyes out with his horns, and crushed him to bits, body and bones, and tossed him out into the cascade, and after that he went up to the hillside. There the billy goats got so fat they were scarcely able to walk home again. And if the fat hasn't fallen off them, why, they're still fat; and so,
Snip, snap, snout.
This tale's told out.

Might run out a few of the crappier "outfitters" like Academy.
