Neighbors said the mall has moved from trend to trend well, like malls have to do. Old tenants, both local and national, such as Renberg’s, Lyon’s Indian Store and KB Toys have all closed or gone bankrupt.

All around the mall, whether it’s a butterfly exhibit or smaller specialty stores such as kate spade or Michael Kors, Simon is adapting to the trends of the day in the way they drive foot traffic.

Texas de Brazil, the luxury Brazilian steakhouse, opened its first location in Oklahoma at Woodland Hills this summer, adding a long-sought-after restaurant to the frontage along 71st Street.

Looking to the future

One key threat to malls these days is the wave of online shopping. Neighbors and Bross, perhaps unsurprisingly, say the rise of e-commerce hasn’t hurt the mall because people still like to touch and try on the clothes they buy.

Boewe, who has multiple listings in the corridor, said the traffic flow around Woodland Hills and its tenants is too strong for the mall to be in any danger in the immediate future.

It would take a significant series of events to displace or threaten it, she said, barring an economic meltdown. It boasts Tulsa’s only Apple Store, she added.
