There's a German restaurant in choctaw that is owned by Germans that moved here as adults. If anyone would know they would.

That didn't go over well, so Homeland came in, and those bunch of cheap dime store hoods turned the store to crap.

Albertson's selection always sucked and the prices were just too high, so they screwed the market. Buy For Less is just like Homeland... run by a bunch of cheap dime store hoods. The rest has been pwned by Wal-Dump.

Liquor laws are a lame excuse. If they have quality supermarkets in Colorado... another 3.2 state, then OKC shouldn't get the boot on any opportunity.

Another reason is stereotype. The Whole Foods types (a store is in Kansas, another 3.2 state) think that OKC is hung up on BBQ and fried chicken. We are seen as cullinary-unfriendly. They are wrong, and are impossible to convince otherwise. Until we market ourselves better as a vibrant and cullinary-friendly city, were are stuck with Crapland and Wal-Dump.

Whole Foods is overpriced, IMO, I would rather have Trader Joe's.

The archaic liquor laws in oklahoma are deffinitlely a factor in our inability to recruit a high end grocery store. Trader Joes and Whole Foods rely on the boost these sales give to their bottom line. We need to start a coalition and petition the OKC Chamber of Commerce to assist us in an inititiative to update Oklahoma's liquor laws. It would make us much more attractive to high end grocers. What would you be willing to contribute to this grocerystoreokc?

We've been through this before on the forum. The liquor laws are not the determining factor because Whole Foods and other high end supermarets abound in other states (NJ for one) where liquor/wine/beer is not allowed to be sold.

Both of these are overpriced for the Oklahoma market. Once you deep fry something the quality of the previously raw product is irrelevant.

LOL! Good point. But then again, fried bologna tastes better fried.
