The Britton District bills itself as “Oklahoma City’s newest developing district” but in reality, it is one of Oklahoma City’s oldest commercial districts.

The Greater OKC Chamber relaunched the Stand Tall, Shop Small campaign to encourage Oklahoma City residents to take pride in their community and rally together to support small businesses throughout the month of July. This spotlight features Oklahoma City’s Paseo District, where artists thrive and trendy shops sell chic clothing and homeware.

Oklahoma City has so many interesting and vibrant shopping and entertainment districts, it may be difficult to decide which one you are going to visit first. Why not begin your district tour by visiting the Uptown 23rd District?

If you’ve lived in Oklahoma City for any length of time, you know the area at the crossroads of I-35 and I-44 is the destination for all things fun. But attractions aren’t all the area has to offer.

The latest data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that for May, the Oklahoma City MSA had an unemployment rate of 3.6%.

An indubitable epicenter of local shops, restaurants, breweries and more, Midtown boasts a true “live, work, play” neighborhood and a great place to support all kinds of local businesses and concepts.

Our Oklahoma City districts are areas where our city has preserved history, unique architecture and culture, and they are important to our economy and quality of life. Automobile Alley, Deep Deuce, Uptown, the Plaza and Paseo are some that are highly recognized and frequently visited for their locally owned restaurants, bars, events and retail. The SW 29 District is special, even among these unique districts, as the place in Oklahoma City to find authentic Hispanic culture and food and our highest concentration of Hispanic businesses, estimated at approximately 300 in the 3-mile stretch between May and Shields.

With an impressive and diverse array of name brands, 394,000 square feet of shopping space and proximity to I-40 there is no secret why the OKC Outlets attracts shoppers not just from all over Oklahoma but from bordering states such as Texas and Kansas.
