VeloCity - August 2025

Oklahoma City’s retail scene continues to flourish, with several exciting openings underscoring the region’s economic momentum and growing appeal as a destination for both shoppers and national brands. According to Tammy Fate, director of Retail Development and Recruitment at the Greater OKC Chamber, these new additions reflect a broader trend: strong consumer demand, increased investment confidence and a diversifying local market. From Andretti Indoor Karting and Games’ entertainment experience to RH’s elevated Design Gallery at OAK, and The Oil Tree’s artisan offerings rooted in Oklahoma values, there’s many new and notable additions in OKC retail. “Andretti’s entry into the Oklahoma City market is a strong signal of retail momentum and growing consumer demand,” Fate said. “Combined with RH’s new Design Gallery and The Oil Tree’s expansion at OAK, these openings reflect a market that is thriving; and one where both national brands and local retailers see long-term opportunity.” Andretti’s opens new OKC location Andretti’s has officially opened in OKC, offering more than 84,000 square feet of attractions for families, groups and thrill-seekers. “The collaboration between American Fidelity and Randy Hogan at The Half has created a vibrant hub for entertainment-focused retailers,” said Chamber President RETAIL GROWTH SIGNALS ECONOMIC STRENGTH IN OKC

Their leadership is a powerful example of what happens when vision meets opportunity—and transforms into destination.” Located just off the Broadway Extension, the entertainment center features a multi-level go-kart track with electric Superkarts designed for speed and precision.
