When a door closes, it usually opens again into a new store, restaurant or other venue, if it’s that kind of property. That kind is retail, and most of the stores that closed their doors in Oklahoma City last year are back open as something new, spiffed up with new paint and finish.
Gone are national chain stores Bed, Bath & Beyond and Tuesday Morning, and some Party City and David’s Bridal stores, among others.
Here’s some of what has replaced them, or soon will.
