It won't be long now before the new farmer's market in Lawton, ort Sill is open and ready for business. If you've been in downtown lately you've probably seen all the construction going on near the corner of Gore Blvd. and 4th street across from the police department, near library plaza in downtown. They broke ground on the new site back in November of 2020 and have been busy ever since building the new farmer's market. We might actually see it open sometime later this year if not early 2022.

Back in March we shared the news, at that time maybe it was a rumor, that Slim Chickens was coming to Lawton, Fort Sill. Well, it's true and I'm sure you've seen all the construction taking place near the intersection of 67th Street and Cache Road. Despite the pandemic and everything else that's been going on lately they've been busy working to get it built and opened. It's actually impressive at just how quickly they've been able to get it all put together. We're not 100% sure exactly when the Slim Chickens in Lawton will open, but it will be very soon!

If you've been out and about in Lawton, Fort Sill lately you've probably already noticed longer waits in restaurants and a lack of customer service in most local stores and retail outlets. This is due to the staffing shortage that a lot of local and area businesses are struggling with. There are even some places in town that are having to shut down temporally for a day or two a week just to give what little staff they do have a much needed break.

The wait is almost over! Get ready, Panera Bread in Lawton, Fort Sill will be opening next week. The new restaurant is located at 807 N.W. Sheridan Road. It's right across the street from the Walmart on Sheridan and right next door to Raising Cain's Chicken. They've been working on the new location for the past several months, we got the official confirmation that it would be a Panera Bread back in October 2020. In the meantime we've been anxiously waiting for it to open and we're only a few days away from that happening.

Well they didn't make the goal deadline of 2020 obviously, but the new Lawton Farmer's Market is under construction and will hopefully be open Summer 2021 if not sometime this year. The new Farmer's Market will be located near the corner of Gore Blvd. and 4th street across from the police department, near library plaza in downtown.

Don't believe everything you hear or see on the internet, especially on Facebook and Twitter. There's been a rumor going around town online and elsewhere that Qdoba on the West side is closing down. IT'S NOT TRUE!

Somewhat, fairly reliable sources have told us this is true and that the new restaurant will be located on the west side of town. If you've been near the intersection of 67th Street and N.W. Cache Road you've probably seen all the construction going on. From what we're hearing that's where the new Slim Chickens is going.

Starting sometime next week Firo Fire Kissed Pizza in Lawton will start serving Roman Style Pizza. Not only that, they'll be setting a record and making history as well. Firo in Lawton will be the very first drive thru to offer Roman Style Pizza Al Taglio anywhere in the world. Don't confuse this pizza with all the others, it's in a class of it's own. I actually had the opportunity to stop by Firo to sample the new pizza and get a sneak peak of what's to come. Imagine being able to drive thru and get a hot, fresh Roman Style Pizza Al Taglio.
