Utica Square

Utica Square is an upscale outdoor shopping center located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.[1] The center is anchored by locally-owned department store Miss Jackson's (which first opened in downtown Tulsa in 1910 and moved to Utica Square in 1965 and closed in 2016 ),[2] and a branch of the Saks Fifth Avenue chain (which opened at Utica Square in 1986).[3] The shopping center features a number of smaller, mostly independent shops.

Utica Square opened on May 22, 1952 as Tulsa's first suburban shopping center.[4] Helmerich & Payne, Inc., an energy company, purchased Utica Square in 1964,[1] and bought Miss Jackson's in 2001.[5]

Previous anchor stores included Renberg's (closed 1998),[6] John A. Brown Department Store (converted to Dillard's in 1984; Dillard's closed 2001), T G & Y, and C.R. Anthony.
