The 2026 State of Retail is here!
Oklahoma's independent retailers continue to prove their strength, resilience and economic impact. But while local shops are performing well by nearly every operational measure, they're doing so in a system that consistently gives the biggest players, not necessarily the better players, the greatest advantages.
Our latest State of Retail goes beyond the numbers to explore the successes, challenges and realities shaping Oklahoma's independent retail industry.
As the only study of its kind in Oklahoma, it's our most powerful tool to understand and advocate for independent retailers. Whether you're a shop owner yourself, community advocate or loyal customer, this is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of local retail.
