From what Tommy told me when I stopped in at 23rd yesterday, it's closing due to property dispute issues and not lack of business. And right now with all of the weed shops popping up there aren't any reasonably priced locations to be found for a new store.

Several months ago, the roof developed a major leak causing them to have to move a great deal of their inventory to other parts of the store. Tommy was saying then that the building owner was pretty difficult to work with. I can't remember ever being the only customer in the store, same with the 23rd street store. They seem to be doing a good volume of business.

The pawnshop I used to buy my C&R firearms at closed and is now a marijuana shop. It was in Enid.

The one out on Garriot? I was going to stop by and recheck on a 327 Taurus they had. Yep, it’s a pot shop. I don’t need any weed today, thank you

You talking about the one around 11th and Garriott??? I didn't know it was a pot shop until I drove by there this morning! BTW - If you didn't know, Bill's is closing as well. Saturday is their last day ... or so I was told. Haven't been by there.

Welp, that stinks. Bought a stripped lower the last time I was in there. There goes Enid’s only class 3 dealer with a store front

Damn, sorry Jennifer is not going. The whole staff has been great though. Tommy has always taken care of me too. I wish the best of luck to everyone involved.

I've had great experiences there except the one time the guy, I'll call him "Ron", tried to tell me the gun I bought didn't come with a box or extra mag when the ad and the tag (the tag I saw him remove and discard) both said it did. When I questioned him about it he just averted his eyes and said "no." Thankfully Tommy said "yes it does" and went to get them for me.
But I still love that place and will make the drive to the 23rd store.

It's unfortunate, but we are having to consolidate the shops. It's been an ongoing issue with our landlord and the landowner to the west of us. We've been looking for a new location in SW Oklahoma City for a few months, but they are far and few between. For the time being we'll just have one really big shop. We hope all you guys will make the extra drive to come and see us. AND YES, Jennifer won't be making the move. She wants to take some time off and may or may not be back at some point in the future! Our last day will be August 31st, and we'll be moving inventory over little by little between now and then.
