New Construction

The wait is almost over! Get ready, Panera Bread in Lawton, Fort Sill will be opening next week. The new restaurant is located at 807 N.W. Sheridan Road. It's right across the street from the Walmart on Sheridan and right next door to Raising Cain's Chicken. They've been working on the new location for the past several months, we got the official confirmation that it would be a Panera Bread back in October 2020. In the meantime we've been anxiously waiting for it to open and we're only a few days away from that happening.

Well they didn't make the goal deadline of 2020 obviously, but the new Lawton Farmer's Market is under construction and will hopefully be open Summer 2021 if not sometime this year. The new Farmer's Market will be located near the corner of Gore Blvd. and 4th street across from the police department, near library plaza in downtown.

Looks like Lawton, Fort Sill is getting an new restaurant, but it's a lot more than that. Get ready for JD's Hideaway, a really unique place to eat that features axe throwing lanes, billiards, an HD golf simulator and video games! If the name sounds kind of familiar that's because they have an Altus, OK. location. I've heard about it, but I've never had the opportunity to eat there. Well, Lawton will be getting it's very own JD's Hideaway soon! It'll be located at 2705 N.W. Sheridan Road in the old Kimchi Korean BBQ building.

We've been hearing rumors now for weeks, maybe even months about Slim Chickens coming to Lawton, Fort Sill. Somewhat, fairly reliable sources have told us this is true and that the new restaurant will be located on the west side of town. If you've been near the intersection of 67th Street and N.W. Cache Road you've probably seen all the construction going on. From what we're hearing that's where the new Slim Chickens is going. It'll be in between Toy Chiropractic Clinic and J&S Dry Cleaning and Laundry.

There's a new business coming to Lawton, Fort Sill, get ready for Scooter's Coffee! If you've past through the intersection of Sheridan Road and Gore Boulevard lately you may have seen the sign on the corner "Scooter's Coffee COMING SOON!"

The brand new Panera Bread in Lawton across from Walmart on Sheridan Road and next door to Raising Cain's Chicken is starting to take shape. Every time I pass by there more and more has been done. It looks like most of the exterior walls and structure are completed, nor they're working on roughing in the interior.

If you've been near the intersection of Sheridan and Cache in Lawton lately you've seen all the construction going on, it's close to the 1,400 block of Sheridan next to China Wok restaurant. Whatever it is they're moving along on the project. From the looks of what we've seen so far it looks like it will be two stories, if not it'll have really high ceilings. Everyone's excited to find out just what it is and when it will open up.
