It could be that Wal-Mart is so popular here and K-Mart didn't like the competition (Oklahoma is a test bed for new Wal-Mart store concepts, I've heard they plan on opening 30 supercenters in the OKC metro area). I'm not sure how likely that is though. Target came behind K-Mart and opened locations near or at wherever K-Marts were located.

There is a K-Mart in Shawnee, which is only 20 minutes out I-40, or you can go to Tulsa.
NO more Walmarts in the Metro! They're ugly! Oh well, I haven't set foot in a Walmart in about 2 years now. I guess I don't really have a say other than I voted with my money.
