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 Ben & Jay’s Pizza and the Crazy 8 Cafe), drinks (such as Shakespeare Wine Company and Brandi’s), shopping (including Perefitte Home & Gifts and Tammie’s Bling), entertainment (including AdventureScape and The Outpost Arcade), 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 now available for lease. The historic Savoy Hotel has been redeveloped and is now occupied by the Savoy 1902 BBQ and Deli. The next major piece is a pedestrian bridge that will connect downtown to the Grady County Fairgrounds.
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.
