Lawton, Oklahoma’s Walmart Among The First To Get New Restaurant
Some of Oklahoma's Walmarts are on the list for a new addition. After years of going without a sit, stay and pay place, a new restaurant is moving in.
Mr. Gatti's Moving In to Walmart
Mr. Gatti's Pizza, based out of Fort Worth, just partnered with Walmart to open 92 new locations in 4 different states in the U.S. and Oklahoma is one of them.
Even crazier is that Walmart approached Mr. Gatti's to make things happen. In the press release for the big move, Jim Phillips, the CEO for Mr. Gatti' Pizza, said:
“Driven by the retailer’s focus on value and quality, Walmart approached us about a partnership because it recognized Mr Gatti’s as a regional favorite with a 55-year legacy of delivering exceptional taste and experiences to our customers."
Mr. Gatti's has been steadily expanding - Lawton and Duncan is next on the list.
What Will It Look Like?
Walmart is changing things up, offering more than a lot of Oklahomas fast food restaraunts. Since the pandemic, lobbies and play areas for people to stop and stay for a while haven't been the same. The change will be a welcome one.

Some have been asking if it will still be a buffet style set up like the one in Oklahoma City, but that doesn't look to be the case. Mr. Gatti's replied in an Instagram comment that "these will not be buffet style due to space but will have small dining space to enjoy your pizza before or after shopping within the Walmart store!"
