OKC Is Natural Landing Spot for Successful DFW Retailers

Jan 14, 2019

Retail real estate in Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) is nearing its cyclical peak, and users that want to continue expanding in the metroplex are being hamstrung by a lack of quality space and surging rents.

According to CoStar Group, DFW’s retail vacancy rate currently stands at 4.4 percent, a record low that the research firm expects to hold steady or even improve in the coming years. Rents have grown by more than 3 percent annually over the last five years, and are now 15 percent higher than their pre-recession peaks.

Thrive — which Richardson recently re-branded with a new name and logo — leases 6,300 square feet of sunlit third-floor space, just above Fuzzy's Taco Shop.

McNellie’s rolls out Yokozuna at Chisholm Creek

Oct 28, 2016

OKLAHOMA CITY – Yokozuna sushi and Pan-Asian restaurant in Chisholm Creek’s Tract 30 building has nearly twice the seating of its two Tulsa-area predecessors.

McNellie’s Group Operating Partner Matt Leland said the restaurant is only working with about 150 of those seats right now because the remaining 100 spots are outside. The rooftop patio is still under construction.

The delay in opening the patio will help the crew get used to the larger area, Leland said.

There's no slowing rash of restaurants openings

Oct 26, 2016

Three new restaurants opened in town last week, and this week the McNellie's group opened its first sushi concept on this side of the state.

Yokozuna has two locations in Tulsa and as of Monday has one here. That's when the sushi and noodle bowl bar opened in the Chisholm Creek development.

Named one of the 100 Hottest Restaurants in America for 2016 by OpenTable in March, Yokozuna offers a wide selection of sashimi, nigiri and sushi rolls, plus a strong roster of rice and noodle bowls, Asian-inspired small plates, steak, seafood and dessert. Yokozuna also includes full bar service with wine, specialty cocktails, sake and beers.

The new location seats more than 200 with a main dining room, bar, sushi bar, mezzanine, and ground floor patio. A private room accommodates up to 45. A rooftop deck is currently under construction and should be open come spring.

Western Corridor to Extend to Memorial with addition of Chisholm Creek

Aug 24, 2016

Long before MAPS 1 was a gleam in former Mayor Ron Norick's eye, a pair of up-and-coming restaurateurs built a small empire of independent restaurants along the North Western Avenue corridor.

More than three decades later, MAPS begat Bricktown, and from its success sprang property-grabs in Midtown, the Plaza District and Uptown 23rd, with plans for more nightlife brimming along the banks of the Oklahoma River, the historic Farmers Market and points west of downtown.

Meanwhile, the original Western corridor, between NW 36 and Wilshire Boulevard, has added Classen Curve and the Triangle at Classen Curve and is bound to extend to Memorial Road with the addition of the Chisholm Creek development and the impending Republic Gastropub, Torchy's Tacos, Fuzzy's Tacos, Yokozuna, Potbelly Sandwiches, and Sidecar Barley and Wine Bar, to name a few.

Fuzzy's Taco Shop now open in the Chisholm Creek Tract 30

Aug 11, 2016

Fuzzy's Taco Shop in the Chisholm Creek Tract 30 is now open, the brand's fifth location in Oklahoma and 100th location nationwide.

The company is celebrating the opening of its 100th location with social media contests, a new purple souvenir cup and daily giveaways at the new Oklahoma City restaurant.

The restaurant's pre-opening benefit raised $2,300 for Oklahoma Cleats for Kids, a nonprofit that collects and distributes sports shoes, clothes and equipment to kids in need.

“Hitting the 100 mark is a major milestone, considering that it all humbly began in 2003 with the purchase of that first struggling Fuzzy's Taco Shop by TCU in Fort Worth,” Fuzzy's Executive Vice President Mel Knight said. “From that one restaurant, we've built a solid, stable company with 100 units in 11 states that is continuing to grow at an accelerated pace.”
