From NewsOK:

I’d like to know why Oklahoma City, with its NBA team in place and a new 50-story skyscraper on the way, can’t land the sort of big-name retailers that one can find in Denver, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Mo., St. Louis, and yes, Little Rock, Ark., Albuquerque, N.M., and even Tulsa.

Reporters here have placed calls from time to time asking retailers like Whole Foods why they’ve skipped us over. The guys and gals on the other end of the phone line are polite, don’t rule us out, but never show any hint of things changing, even though trucks from Whole Foods must be passing through as they travel from Austin to Tulsa.

Read the rest.
