Downtown Developments

Chickasha’s historic downtown is growing! The EDC is placing special importance on improving the downtown district. Both existing and newly constructed buildings are available for sale or lease along Chickasha Avenue. Visitors are drawn to downtown for numerous events throughout the year. Our downtown has food (such as BJ’s Pizza and the Crazy 8 Cafe), drinks (such as Shakespeare Wine Company and The Speak), shopping (including Perefitte Home & Gifts and Tammie’s Bling), and culture (with the Science & Arts Art Wrecker building and Chickasha Area Arts Gallery).

The Chickasha Community Foundation is entering Phase 2 of the construction of the new urban park. $1.4 million in private donations funded Phase 1, which included the Science & Arts Art Plaza, remodeling of the freight building, and yes, the 50-foot leg lamp sculpture.

Town’s End

Town’s End Stillhouse & Grill is in the process of a multi-million-dollar investment in the area surrounding the historic Rock Island Depot at 1st & Chickasha. The Rock Island Depot has been transformed into a major event venue, the Town’s End Brewery & El Cheto’s Mexican Restaurant & Arcade opened in summer 2024, and the vacant Savoy Hotel is set to reopen later this year as the Savoy 1902 BBQ & Deli. Further plans include a stillhouse & grill, coffeehouse, a new hotel to serve Grady County Fairgrounds visitors, and a pedestrian bridge to connect the Fairgrounds to downtown.

South Chickasha Retail

There are multiple opportunities for retailers in South Chickasha. The Southland Shopping Center, Shoppes at Chisholm Trail, and Chickasha Crossing all have spaces available for lease. This trade area captures local consumers from a wide radius around Chickasha as well as thru traffic from Interstate 44 and U.S. Highway 81.

The Woodlands is currently under construction at the busy 4th & Grand intersection and has 13 lots available for purchase. Current tenants include Chick-Fil-A and Scooter’s Coffee, and additional key tenants are to be announced. This is a multi-use development that is planned to involve retail, commercial, and residential development. Across the street, Roaster’s Market has expanded into Chickasha with construction of a new high-end convenience store.

Hospitality & Dining

Events year-round at the Grady County Fairgrounds and the Chickasha Sports Complex, plus other special events and general business travel, are creating a need for more dining and lodging options in Chickasha. A new Best Western recently opened on Grand Avenue, and the old Maverick Inn off I-44 has been fully updated and made into a new Motel 6.
