Investors Offer Hope For Replacement Grocery Store

I'm sure it will stimulate the crime rate. It's not surprising that no one wants to invest in North Tulsa.

Please...we are in desperate need of a grocery store. Some people are unable to get around to the south side of town to shop. I dont understand why the built the Albertson's just to close it a few years later. I live on the north side or town and I think it ridiculous we do not have a grocery store.

I was told (by and employee) that it had to close because of the theft problem.

I hope it can be a viable business this time......North Tulsa desperatley needs a grocer.

Time will tell...........again.

"They say it may take a little time, but they're hopeful a new grocery store will help stimulate the North Tulsa area"

I agree...they will probably have to close in a short timeframe as well and it will be due to the deadbeat homies who want to rob them blind.

Sad.

There is more crime in east and south Tulsa than the northside of tulsa, the crimes in other areas are not being reported. Stop labeling north Tulsa! A grocery store is long overdue for the northside of Tulsa.

I live out in that area and that is so true. There are some good people that live out there and they have to suffer because the bad people out there have to steal and engage in other criminal activity.

I wish they would do something w/ teh Albertsons on 21st and Memorial. That was always busy. Theres been a grocery store there for 20 years and now it's all about walmart. There are soo many apts that really depended on that store.

Yes, they need a grocery store in North Tulsa. So, we don't have to worry about them coming further North!!

Negative posters: Beating a dead horse

They closed it because Albertson's sold out, and no one wanted that store due to the high shoplifting rate. Start a neighborhood campaign to ask your young men to stop stealing stuff and shooting each other, and stores will move in.

You are sorely mistaken. ALL crime is reported. I have lived on the N Side, and I heard gunshots all the time. I live South now, and the only problems we have are around the 61st and Peoria area, where they moved people from N Tulsa many years ago. It's not the side of town...it's the demographics of the population.

Here we go again, everyone hating on north tulsa. I have lived in north tulsa area for 2 years now and have never had a problem, i have even left my wallet in my car with the doors unlocked and it is there the next morning. the people who post bad stuff about this area are just ignorant. they probably got there big tv stolen that they bought on credit since they cant actually afford it. there are a lot of nice people up in that area, quit profiling everyone, idiots

Ask the people who have tried to own and operate stores in North Tulsa in the past. They had to close because of theft, false insurance (fake slip and falls) claims that made the cost of doing business too high, competition with the Wal-Marts, etc. I wish them luck but I have to wonder what magic these "investors" possess that the previous stores didn't have....

Good luck to the investors. I hope the theft goes away and people who need a store there will have one..

Considering the success rate of grocery stores in North Tulsa, wonder who the investors are.
